St Peter's at night.

Spent most of the day round the Vatican museum, so much to see but we only saw a fraction of it. The best part was the Sistine Chapel - the cries of 'No photo!' and 'Shhh!' by the angry security guards at various tourists will be ringing in my ears for some time yet. Apparently the reason you're not allowed to take photos in there is because the Vatican hired a Japanese cleaning company to clean the frescos of the soot and dirt that have built up over the years - and that the company now owns the copyright to the works. Crazy, right? I did try and sneak a photograph but all I managed was the inside of my bag :D
