Twice in a Lifetime is Enough

Okay....we are finished with the Vatican tours. Today was a brutal exercise in patience (which I don't have much of) while touring the Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's Basilica. 

So many people in such a small area was very hard on the body....so much standing, so many elbows to the side and so many selfie sticks in the face. 

We had an on-line skip the line reservation, but that only seemed to speed up the entrance and not the actual viewing.

The place was as impressive as the last time we were here, just a lot busier.

Happy Anniversary Bro & Sis-In-Law!
Here's hoping your luck starts to kick in. Enough with the missed buses and trains, wrong directions, bad weather, wrong directions, etc etc etc.
Your luck has to turn around sometime before your trip ends!!

The missed planes, trains and boats are what we usually remember when the trip is over....anything out if the ordinary is special.
