From 23rd to 31st March 2007 our family embarked on a vacation-guided tour of Italy. This is the first instalment of our tour. On the 24th we started the tour in Rome (the capital of Italy, duh) with an optional visit to the Vatican Museum. Tourists were only allowed on one wing of Vatican City building, which houses the museum. However, I, DJ, was one of the few fortunates who chanced to glimpse through a briefly opened door into the hall of the Pope's office. Even though Vatican City is a state by itself, seperated from Rome and Italy, no you don't need a passport to go there. I would love to upload all the pictures I have, but I had to choose those which tell the story, and flattering poses of my tour group (hey y'all) . Unfortunately guys, I lost the lil notebook in UK, where I had notes about the pics, so had to comment them from memory. . N'way, here goes..piano piano eh..
