We have had some amazing food. All names and reviews will follow once I land in Bombay. We have all had a major overdose of art and culture. We entered the Vatican museums. Booked well in advance via good old Internet. I am afraid it is now ticked off our agenda. We entered and it's like one of those places which make u exit a show through the soveniour shops. You are te,pted to stop and buy all manner of silly pens and notebooks showing the cast. And you are so enamoured you want to take ur favourite character back home forever. Any case, the Vatican is like a huge huge passage. One has to go through all; and all is very very many,rooms. This was the first museum kids saw in Rome. And they got a full class in Biology - chapter -reproductive parts of our body. The paintings and the great Popes great collection went on and on and on. We got out super fast and now I was hoping the kids do not develop a sudden love for culture and art because the museum - Uffizi in Florence was supposed to be the world's largest.
It was crowded and once more Internet had rescued us from thronging crowds, using small electronic Chinese made, fans on a fairly sweet summer day. These Europeans need a dose of India.
We had to climb 300 steps to reach the galleries. And agsin faced with another lesson in biology - the remarkable reproductive parts of godly bodies. It's funny. Enormous naked men and women in the corridors and Jesus in all stages of his life, inside the rooms. Through sick and sin I say! The first few pictures of the various gods and myths and Jesus in all his crisis was beautiful. After 6 pf them we zoomed through the rooms. After all how many expressions of the three wise men, and mother Mary in agony can one see.
Another agenda ticked off.
Art buffs we are not.
And I think I speak for all four of us, only a death threat will drag us into another museum and art gallery.
We shall see the outside structures and ticks it off our things to do ka list!
