Italy: Rome and Vatican

After Venice we headed of to Rome in a sleeper train which is the best way because you get a bed and you travel without taking up hours of the day therefore we were happy to find that train. We went and checked into our hostel and I can say it was great because we were just five minutes away from the Colosseum and had a nice not to busy street of restaurants and bakerys all around us. Rome brought us the Pantheon, the Trevi Fountain, Spanish Scalinata, Piazza Navona, Piazza Santa Maria Maggiore, the Colosseum of course, the Roman Forum, many monuments to ancient Romans and the FOOD. I tried every form of pasta in Rome from cannelloni to tortellini from lasagna to fettuccine pizza and tiramisu all you can think of we had it. All of it was scrumptious. Gelatto again we took in in our doses of 5 per day, we had so much food at one restaurant the owner came out to us and bought us limoncello which is liquor with lemon flavor and later on took us out to the city and see the night life. It was fun.
The Vatican was a highlight in Rome because we got to skip all the lines with a tour we bought and got to see the Sistine Chapel, many frescoes and masterpieces by Raphael, Bernini, Michelangelo, and many other scultors and artists. We went into St Peters Basilica that is some church. The details in the sculptures and moldings and mosaics everywhere is heavenly i suppose. It is impressive and humbling. We got the chance to climb all the way to the top where we enjoyed of the best view of Rome then go to chill in the roof terrace of St Peters where we found a souvenir shop ran by nuns, which translated to better prices. I bouth atrons in that souvenir shop. By the time we got down there was mass going on and I got to join, have communion and have the blessing of the Lord bestowed on me in the Vatican. I felt in like a saint after that. n the way out  I dipped all the souvenirs I bought in the Roof top terrace in Holy Water to have them blessed, Im taking those back with me.
