Vatican Visit

We visited the Vatican on May 1 while on a cruise on the Ruby Princess. We took the train from Civitavecchia where the Ruby Princess was docked. We got off the train at the Roma S. Pietro station which is near the Vatican.

We were lucky we got there shortly after 9 am because later in the morning long lines stretched across St. Peter's Square waiting to enter St. Peter's Basilica.

The artwork displayed both inside and outside of St. Peter's Basilica was very impressive. It is hard to imagine how long it took to create all of the thousands of pieces of art found at the Vatican.
