Hey Guys!
Just spent the day in Rome, was pretty cool but way too hot! Was gross and sweaty all day long. We had to get up Super early to get into the Vatican City and see The Sistene Chapel. It was nice, but not worth waiting two hours in a line for. If I was on my own I wouldnt have bothered. By the end we were all so grumpy and just wanting to eat! (we being Myself, Belinda, Naomi and Rachel the girls Ive been hanging around with most and sharing rooms with) We went to see some ruins, The Roman Forum and the Colleseum which were much cooler. We also went to this Monk tomb and all the walls were decorated with Bones and skulls and skeletons. It was awesome. Anyway I had a fun day but I kind of enjoyed eating Pizza and Gelati more than the Vatican city, Rome is too hot and dirty.
Eating so much Pizza and Gelati and Pasta, Getting so fat! But we are walking alot so I guess it evens out.
Tommorow we head into Venice.
We also have been to Florence which was really pretty. We did a walking tour first then I spent the next day alone, climbed up 464 stairs of the Duomo for a wicked view then headed over to a museum Pitti Piaza or something which was cool too. They had an old costume exibit with clothes from the Medichi family (who used to rule Florence or something) and gorgeous gardens and stuff.
I have a bit of a cold today which is a bummer but tommorow we spend about ten hours on the bus so that means I can sleep all day and hopefully be better by the next day in Venice.
Much love,
Haylz.
ps. Please leave me comments in this as I love them!
