God help us: The Vatican queues!

Its Easter and everyone is in Rome and the Vatican.  The que was soo long to get into St Peter's Basilica that we just settled on a photo, however we did manage to get into the Vatican Museum as we had pre booked tickets in Australia.  It was so nice driving past the 3 hour long que around the walls of the Vatican of people standing in the rain to be deposited at the entrance and told to walk straight in by our taxi driver.  Our mission was to see The Sistine Chapel so thats were we headed, with the rapidly moving line of visitors who entered the museum.  Crowd control is big in the Vatican  no photos and keep moving!  The Sistine Chapel is 15th C and its 800sqm ceiling is a Michelangelo masterpiece depicting the Creation of Adam.
