Vatican

We arrived at the Vatican at 7:15am where we met our guide. The doors open to the general public at 9am and there was already a line that wrapped around the corner waiting to get in. We were amongst the first dozen people to enter at 7:30 and went straight to the Sistine Chapel where we spent 20 minutes staring at the ceiling with 50 or 60 people. We circled back and did the rest of the museum and St. Peter's until around 11:30. The place turned into a real zoo when the non-tour guide groups were let so the extra cost for the private guide and early entry were well worth it. This is Barbara and her handy iPad with additional pictures and maps. She was very nice.
