There's a crowd everywhere. It's not encouraging to down from this bus.

Please can someone name this place. I was not listening to the tour guide. I'm thinking it is Circo Massimo or Plinto Hills.

You buy a tour bus ticket on the streets and wait for the bus to pass. It is called hop on hop off. Meaning u can always join the bus back when you have finished exploring these places.

The crowd is too much. I'm discouraged to enter these places. Will try again tomorrow after mass

I'm waiting for the main event: the Vatican!

wanderlustian welcome to Rome , hope you're enjoying it . Don't let let the crowd discourage you . How's your baby ?
I think the vatican museum is free every Sunday , if you're interested you can go inside and see the beautiful work of Michelangelo . You will need lots and lots of patients because of the crowd ..


That's the long queue at the Vatican the last time I was there

Just got back from the Vatican! I can't feel my face!

So I left quite early and got there at 9:30am to beat the queue. Any truly I did. The Pope was going to show up at 12 noon (in time for the Angelus, so I took a quick tour of the Basilica.

The words I have to describe the Basilica... I feel like I died and went to Heaven!

Was late to mass... So we stood, after a while I boned, cos I needed to book space for when Pope will show. More pix from inside. Points to note:

You cannot wear shorts (for men), anything above the knee and sleeveless for women. They will turn you back bllat the door.
There is a security check point before you enter, so don't carry metal objects
Security is tight but not stifling. There are polizia and soldiers and Swiss Guards everywhere.
If you are catholic, buy a souvenir (medal, rosary or water) so you can bless it for your use.
You can get married at the Basilica, yup! Just get a letter from your Parish Priest
Infant baptism is also possible, I witnessed one and was like awwww, cos we baptised the baby the weekend before we traveled (see 3rd pix)
You can also pay Penance at the Basilica and pray at the Blessed Sacrament (see 2nd pix)

Thanks a bunch. She's asleep half the time on my chest, back or in a stroller. Time she's most active is at night playing with the other housemates when I really need to snooze!

So far, I have been a fan of only one Nairalander- YorubaWoman (because her Yoruba language posts usually gets me cracking)...

Well, I am officially becoming a fan of Wanderlustian.. Reason? Her patience
and cultured manner... 8 pages and no insult or insinuation replied in like manner..

In this era when 'almost everybody blood dey hot', it is a breath of fresh air. It is commendable. Keep it up!!!

She's in Europe now, at least, far from sai Buhari.

Lol,

Are you naming the pictures I posted?

Anyways, the suffer in Rome is too much. There's too much to see and do within the short time frame. I'm back in Milan. My MIL says I have lost weight from these few days of trekking. Maybe I should trek more often. I'm taking today off to rest. I hope to visit Venice tomorrow, hopefully MIL will take care of the baby while I dash out for a day.


Gradually the 2 weeks is coming to an end! What else can I say?

Wanderlustian, I only recognized the pope John Paul 2 tomb and inside the Vatican ... you have a limited time Sha .
The last time I was there ,I would walked from Roma termini to piazza Venezia . Sit at piazza novona for Caffè. .. Italian Caffè not all these American and British water Coffee oo grin
Did you see the trevi fountain before you leave rome ... ? was under construction the last time I was there .

Venezia is cool cool cool , I was there some years back I could remember my hotel was in mestre ( 5 minutes) train to venezia it was fun ...
In D'uomo(milano) and Venice you're most likely to bump into a celebrity. ...
Where as in Rome central you will be taking caffe and eating in a restaurant with politicians and you won't even recognize them .. it's crazy the gaps poverty created between us in Africa ...
I'm waiting for the pictures from your venezia trip o, enjoy yourself on the boat .. grin

Wanderlustian, I heard there was a train accident in Italy. Far be it from you and your baby that you were involved, kindly post something to confirm this assertion. God protect you and your baby and bring you back home safely in Jesus name. Amen.
