Other Cities

The beauty of Italy continues in these cities

Vatican City

You may not know this about Vatican City but it is the smallest county in the entire world.  Vatican City sits within Rome surrounded by walls.  A must to do in this small state is to see the St. Peter's Basilica.  Another must is the Sistine Chapel to see Michaelangelo's masterpiece.  Continue with the Museo Pio Clementino, Etruscan Museum, and the Egyptian Museum.  All are unique and hold different types of art.  Finish the day with going to the famous Piazzo San Pietro.  From the Basilica you can see the square from above but you need to walk through it.  When you look up, you can see where the Pope delivers speeches or blessings.

Pompeii

Pompeii was an ancient town near Naples in the 6th century.  However, in 79 AD, Mount Vesuvius erupted leaving the down almost completely destroyed and covered in ash.  Pompeii is about two and half hours away from Rome so we joined a tour group that took us from Rome through Naples and to Pompeii and back.  It was really interesting seeing the destroyed ruins in this now ancient town.

Pisa 

My uncle was able to drive Domingo, Edel, Vince, and I to Pisa.  While in Pisa, we walked around the busy streets by the main attraction.  My uncle first took us around the city and then we ended our trip by the famous Leaning Tower of Pisa.  In pictures, it doesn't look that lopsided.  However, it is really tilted to the side.  Make sure you pick up a shot glass that leans just like the Tower!
Picture

Naples 

Naples is a city that we stopped in as we drove through it on our way to Pompeii.  The city is right on the water and from a distance you can see the small island of Capri.  On our way back from Pompeii, we stopped in Naples for lunch and here is where I ate the absolute best pizza slice of my entire life.  The ingredients were just so fresh and everything about it was perfect.  However, be careful of pickpocketers here!
