What to do in Rome when it rains? Well, the Vatican Museum will keep most intrigued for a very long time. And if you don't get there early it could just be the line up that keeps you busy. Apparently sometimes it can be a 2 hour (plus) wait, just to get in. We, on the other hand, were lucky to walk straight in and be unburdened with crowds. So, if you are a Catholic and want to know where all your and your forefathers' donations went, have a look around this place and it will be evident very quickly.

| my sneaky Sistine Chapel photo.... ok, it is shocking. Sorry. but it was against the rules! |
I am amazed at the collection of the Vatican Museum it ranks, for me, very highly in the most impressive museums I have seen. Not for the big names like the Sistine etc but for the sheer volume and quality throughout and it is well represented. Now what was it about the new Pope said about being humble......
