the Vatican Museum

The Vatican city and museum. Even out of peak tourist season the queue to the Vatican Museum was an hour long. Get there early! Please feel free to visit my web site at http://www.susan.com.au

My Visit to Italy
I was in St. Peter's last year. Words cannot describe the grandness and awe that I felt with the whole visit to Rome and Florence. You have done a very good job of capturing some of the sites.

Top photos! I was in Rome the past weekend (Dec 03) but many of my inside shots at St Peter's didn't turn out so well on my cheap digicam, so it's nice to have someone else's page to refer to who did a much better job than I - particularly as St Peter's was such an outstanding piece of work.
