Sistine Chapel, Vatican 9May14

Thanks to pre booking we made on line, 
we did not have to wait for long before
we entered Sistine Chapel tour.

There were hundreds and thousands of tourists here.

But what blew me away was the inside the Chapel and Museum.

I have never seen anything more beautiful art works and
sculptures in one place than anywhere else in my whole life.

We spent about 4 hours there as
there are so many things to look at to admire.




















 Photos are not allowed only in the Chapel 
for the famous ceiling painting by Michelangelo.
Birth of Adam.
But I was really happy to see it in my own eyes.
