Day 10- We went to the Vatican City in Rome, which is the smallest city in the whole world but it has 30% of Rome's property. Rome is also another pretty city cos it has the most medieval buildings and ruins, some were quite badly marred actually. and the vatican city is where the pope resides! haha cool right, it's chapel is really gargantuan!

There are lots of such statues and there's also the preserved pope's body to show that he's turned into a saint.
