The visit to Vatican City marks the end of the first part of my europe trip, and of cuz last day in Rome, Italy too.
We set off early to beat the crowd for entry into St. Peter's basilica in the vatican city.
The basilica was amazingly grand with beautiful decors/sculptures. You can actually feel the 名副其实的 holy-ness. But as described by Justin, the beauty of the basilica cannot be perfectly captured on photos.
We spent quite a while marvelling at the impressive structure and wandering around to take photos. I'm really curious about this small independent city run by the pope himself and would very much like to explore the residence area inside Vatican, which apparently was not open to public at all.
I sent a few postcards from the Vatican post office and we then rush back to the Korean guesthouse to settle our flight issue, initially due to depart this evening.
We can't go back to UK on time! Damn the volcanic ashes!
Lastest news updated, in fact more or less expected, our evening flight back to London has been cancelled too!
Our initial itinerary was to fly back to London, take a day rest in Warwick, and go to London the next day to meet up with BF, before flying to Portugal to start the 2nd part of the Europe trip.
Now the plans are kinda screwed up and we need to plan for alternative travel routes instead. Shit man! =S
Denz they all have already bought the train tix to NICE, departing later at 3pm. I guess CS and I will most probably be flying to Portugal directly from Rome to explore Porto first before BF arrives.
We just wanna get out of ROME!
