Day 11: Rome, Italy - Vatican City

Woke up a little later today for once and got some much needed rest, but only because the watch dog (Pelner) was busy out planning the day for us. So, we started today by going back to the Vatican, this time to go through the museum. Lots of stuff in this one, including the Sistine Chapel. So, after spending most of our morning waiting in line for this museum, we decided to eat our 4th meal of pizza in a row before we headed back to the Colosseum, again! Since Pelner and Smeagol weren't satisfied with our visit yesterday, we made a return to the old gladiator stadium to take a tour - except for Rohn, who chose to spend his time on FaceBook.
Anyway, so we have been in Rome for two full days - kinda weird, but very nice to have some time to relax without worrying about catching our next train. But then again, we leave tomorrow morning early. But, its a good thing we spent time in Rome because it is definitely the best city for Pelner to see things. Time well spent.
But we still had one more night left, and this time it was without our night life tour guide John Kelly. So, we took it easy for the first night of this trip and decided a good 3 hour dinner with the parents would be better for us than going out. It was nice though to have the fam altogether for the first time in a long time. Anyway, nothing more here..
