今天我们实际上并没有在罗马，而是几乎整天都在梵蒂冈。

博物馆令人印象深刻，展品的数量有点让人不知所措……我特地选择了两个博物馆，想要参观，但却没想到会这样！你会在博物馆工作人员、箭头和封闭区的引导下像在宜家一样前行。只不过没有通往装饰品部门的捷径……😄

最后，游客们会被驱赶到西斯廷教堂，只能在中间停留，但至少可以停下来看一看，感到惊叹。很多著名的艺术作品，如电影、电视或拉丁书中看到的，能现场欣赏真的非常令人震撼。而且远没有《蒙娜丽莎》那么让人失望……

在大约六家纪念品商店之后，人们可以在花园里稍作停留，静静地处理所有的印象。教皇的橘子树上结满了果实！

从博物馆的窗口可以俯瞰到罗马的美丽景色。你可以看到教皇有一个游泳池、网球场、足球场和排球场！不过今天他并没有进行体育活动，也没有自己主持弥撒……无所谓！也许这一切都是为了瑞士卫兵，他们看起来非常精神！

在吃完第一份罗马冰淇淋后，我们也去了圣彼得大教堂。那里的规模简直不可思议！拉斐尔不想忏悔，而我当然是心地纯洁的😇🤣

在过去的三天里我都是06:00起床，今天终于睡懒觉了。不过，08:00时我帐篷里热得难以忍受，只能起床。外面很潮湿，气温预计会达到34度。我磨蹭着，吃早餐时拖延了很久，和卫生间的小屋里的人聊了很长时间。

紧张感消失了，我一定能完成最后10公里的美丽的台伯河自行车道。我的导航指引我到达圣彼得广场，当我看到它的宏伟和游客的众多时，我感到无比震撼。成千上万的人聚集在这里，进入圣彼得大教堂的队伍长达几百米。

我站在广场中央，拍了几张照片，突然开始哭泣。为什么哭，我也说不清，也许是因为疲惫。喜悦似乎久久无法显现，可能稍后会到来——伴随着我为完成这个许多人认为无意义或疯狂的项目所感到的自豪。我真的从法兰克福骑到了罗马，骑行超过2000公里，爬升超过15000米，具体数字我也不太清楚。

在这种情况下，我显然不可能在火车站和窗口可能不友好的人讨论带自行车的火车票。于是我骑了起来，偶然路过西班牙台阶。此时才11:45，因此街对面的比萨店还有一个户外桌子空着。女服务员先对我大吼，让我把自行车停到别处。她后来还说，上周这里有人偷了两辆自行车。面团是无麸质的，吃起来有点沙沙的，我先用非常多的橄榄油把它浸润。

之后我感到精力充沛，可以去解决购票的问题，网上有很多关于这方面的糟糕故事。我独自骑行到罗马并没有问题，在露营地遇到许多有趣的人——但在罗马我会感到非常孤独，这里的人实在太多了。经过40分钟排队，我终于成功了，知道自己至少可以坐车到博洛尼亚。到时我还得转车，往哪儿去我会在那之前再想想，我已经有了一些新的想法——我还有两周的时间。

March 16-19, 2022: Rome, Vatican

F. I have been to Rome twice before and I am always fascinated by what was possible 2000 years ago. But on this visit, it should not primarily be about the exciting history of this world metropolis, but rather selfishly about us. We had been given a contact point by Italians on the ferry where we should try to get vaccinated. So we went into the chaos of Rome's traffic. Not only is it driven wildly here, but also parked, so that a road that is two lanes in one direction is often only one lane passable because a lot is parked in the second row. We found a parking space at the recommended hospital, which happened to be very close to the Vatican's city wall. Unfortunately, no one at the hospital reception spoke English, so someone with knowledge of English was quickly organized. It turned out that we had to register in the system first, as we currently only have international health insurance and no European health insurance card. (Apparently, the advantages of private insurance also only apply in Germany.) With an address on a small piece of paper, the term for the Italian patient system, and the address of a vaccination center on another small piece of paper, we set off through the city of Rome. Unfortunately, the registration office was only open until 12:30 p.m., so we had to wait until the next day. Killing time in Rome is quite easy. There is always something to see or something delicious to eat. With pizza in our bellies, we went to a few places in Rome. Vatican, Tiber, Pantheon, Piazza Navona, and then on to a parking space just outside Rome.

The next morning, the second attempt. Take the bus into the city and walk to the very old hospital with its beautiful cloister. In a small room labeled "Healthcare for Migrants," there was a woman with very little knowledge of English, but thanks to our handwritten note, she understood what we wanted. We briefly presented our identification cards and after 5 minutes we had an Italian patient number on a printed DIN-A4 sheet. By now, I felt a bit like Asterix and Obelix, who in the book "Asterix Conquers Rome" try to get Passierschein A38 in a crazy administrative building.

After our registration, we continued on foot to the vaccination center near the Pyramid of Rome. Also here, only a little English was spoken at the entrance, but based on our previously collected "passes," they understood what we wanted. In the vaccination center itself, fluent English was spoken if you addressed the right people. A doctor filled out a questionnaire about health status and pre-existing conditions together with us, and then we were given the vaccination order printed out. With this, we went to another room and finally received our long-awaited third vaccination against Covid-19.

Before leaving the parking space in Rome and heading towards the coast, we did some shopping. You never know how strong the vaccine reaction will be the next day.

We set up our resting camp in Sabaudia. On the first day, we hardly left the van, as the vaccine reaction came with a lot of fatigue, weakness, and a heavy arm. The next day was already much better, so we watched two races of the currently ongoing rowing and paddling championships in the morning.

Day 155 - Total tour 11,289 km

2019年7月25日，星期四 - 第5天

今天是梵蒂冈日。但首先我们停留在凯斯图斯金字塔，也就是Caio Cestio金字塔。

在罗马，如果你还想给留在家里的人寄明信片：在那些售卡的摊位上，千万不要买黄色邮票。因为只有少数几处邮筒是这个明显替代供应商的，而且在金字塔这里就有一个黄色邮筒！

我们为梵蒂冈博物馆和西斯廷教堂购买了一张优先票，这样我们就可以直接进入，无需排长队。

这一切都进行得很顺利，我们在博物馆漫步走过永无止境的长走廊，直到最后站在西斯廷教堂的礼拜堂内。人潮拥挤又闷热，人们不看也不惊叹，而是不停嘀咕，因此不断有人提醒：

安静！

唉，我该怎么说呢。我的女儿太诚实了，我本想借用旅行团的名义，直接进入圣彼得大教堂，但她不愿意。因此我们又走回整个博物馆，绕外面再次回到圣彼得大教堂，然后我们站在圣彼得广场四处游荡，面对着那条漫长的等待队伍。今天我真的受够了，太……热了，我觉得不太好。我想回家。

和大多数罗马游客一样，我们也去了梵蒂冈。在那里，我们参观了天使堡、圣彼得广场和圣彼得大教堂（从外面看）以及梵蒂冈博物馆。其实我们只想花半天的时间，但博物馆的内容如此丰富，以至于我们花的时间比预计的要长得多。

那里的奢华和众多的珍宝真是令人难以置信，几乎难以想象它们的数量。对我个人来说，最精彩的部分是西斯廷礼拜堂，里面有米开朗基罗著名的壁画（上帝和亚当的手几乎要相触）。可惜那天我有些肚子痛，因此我们没有等候两个小时去参观圣彼得大教堂，而是相对迅速地回家了。
