Day 7 : Vatican City, Pantheon, Trevi Fountain & Gelato

Those are places we explored today.

Started off the morning with nice breakfast, then walked for about 20mins to the meeting point to enter the "Blessed City"...

We paid premium, and got to skip the almost 1-Kilometer Q. Guess the extra was worth...

Its nice and big indeed. But was disappointed with the famous Sixteen Chapel. I was really expecting that there shall be 16-physical chapels.... But it was just paintings by Michaelangelo.

Whereas, there some of places in the museum is very nice. Am always amazed by how people from more than 2,000 years were able to built such amazing structures... And paint so beautifully.

Then, walked to Pantheon., which have this huge beautiful bronze door that was from hundreds or probably thousand years ago....

The remains of Rafael (the famous painter whom drew some major parts of Vatican) was placed here.

And, we moved on to throw a coin at Trevi's Fountain. The believe is, you shall return to Rome again if u throw the coin. We did it with good intention, coz all coins thrown into the fountain, is given to some welfare organization...

Then, we had the perfect gelato! That completes my day........
