Euro Trip - Part 1 Vatican City

Well we didn't get a chance to see the Colosseum from inside, one thing that has left for me to do when I will again go to Europe...hopefully. We went along the bus displaying our photography skills all the way along and in spite of not knowing the names of all the sculptures we went on clicking. It was all fun. Well we all then arrived in the smallest country in this world. The place where one of the strongest personality of this world lives. Who has certainly more powers than the President of the United States but more importantly he doesn't uses it in negative sense. The place where movie 'jhoom barabar jhoom' was shot. Now without delaying and getting your nerves up I will start telling about the place The Vatican City.
Yes where the Pope lives. It is very difficult to tell the experience in words, you can see in my album on Orkut. The place is huge with long pillars standing symbolizing the more so pride. Its suitableness was the first thing that I notices and will be remembered that way. Fountain in the middle pouring us the much needed cold water in that scorching heat. We were hungry that time but still couldn't resist us to get in line to get in there. So we decided to first see the whole thing and then arrange something for food. We entered with the security check though we all get through. We saw guards standing as stiff as some pillar. I still remember people taking their pictures and laughing but they were doing there duty to stand still...and they were doing great I guess.
We then entered the building cracking jokes about meeting pope and all. There was a huge line for entering the building which we didn't opted for, considering the shortage of time. We saw graves of old kings and queens and some prayers were also chanting centrally so we were supposed to keep quite which we didn't:)
Now our gang proceeded towards the food arrangement. Well we went to a famous Italian restaurant as said by the people there and preferred the much said about food Pizza. Italian pizzas being famous all over the world and is being said to have taken the pride to invent this. Well we, well at least I was expecting the pizza to be thick with lots of stuff in it and we will be relieved by out hunger..like in India. But it turned out to be that the pizza was very very thin and it hardly made any weight to our appetite. We has to get satisfied to that only as the things which come in fancy packages are more expensive then they should be and each one of us paid 5euros, no need to convert it Indian currency to check my price for the half.
We again set on our open buses and headed off to our next destination.
