This is my second time to visit the Vatican and Sistine Chapel but I barely remember the details. Tsk..tsk... But I'm thinking maybe it's not really because I am forgetful but rather maybe our tour guide from 4 years ago highlighted different things from what our tour guide highlighted this time. Excuses.. Haha…
Anyway, sharing with you a few photos – just a few because I couldn’t remember anymore the descriptions of most of the photos I took. Haha...
Overlooking the Vatican Museum grounds |
Inside the Vatican Museum grounds |
Vatican Museum dome |
Emperor Nero's tub |
The tour guide pointed to this unique statue with glass eyes. Looks a bit creepy to me. It might just suddenly blink. Haha…
Spotted this head sculpture with an interesting facial expression in one of the section entrances.
St Helena's sarcophagus |
View from one of the windows |
Some random shots inside the Vatican Museum -
The corridor leading to the Sistine Chapel is the last area where you can take photos. Picture-taking isn’t allowed inside the Sistine Chapel. Breathtaking. I don't know how many wows I exclaimed. And my head was tilted the entire time I was walking - good thing I didn't trip! Haha...
Beautiful spiral staircase at the exit of the Vatican Museum.
View of the dome of the spiral staircase from the ground floor. I don’t remember seeing this view during my first visit 4 yrs ago. Good thing I saw some people taking snapshots which made me look up. Such a beautiful view to end the tour. :)
