09/19/13: Over the Border to the Vatican!

After a short metro ride & walk, we left Rome & Italy behind this morning as we crossed the international border to the Vatican, an entirely independent country in the heart of Rome!
Our guide this morning was Nicoletta, yesterday's guide Stuart's wife & an expert on art history.





Our Vatican tour included seeing many highlights of the enormous world-class collection of art en-route to seeing the highlights of our tour - the Sistine Chapel & St. Peter's Basilica.









After our tour the afternoon & evening were free, so we traveled back to our hotel together, then the group went their separate ways to sightsee, shop or just relax.
