Europe 2018 - Rome Day 3 Gallery contains pictures from our second full day in Rome. Our first goal was to visit the Sistine chapel. What we didn't realize was that we would have to spend almost 2 hours walking through other Vatican museums to get there. I told Katherine it reminded me a bit of walking through an Ikea store. Following our time in Vatican City, we explored the Roman Forum in greater depth. After resting our weary legs and cooling off our overheated bodies back in the hotel room, we ended the day with a nice meal at a sidewalk cafe.
