With Max at the pizza bar
Our first meal in Italy...pizza of course Today Keeran's writing:
We do not realize how cold it is and therefore dress for a South African niteclub(as Max only told us he is taking us to a niteclub) Krisel and I are excited as we have never been clubbing before!!! We are all wearing pumps(flat, tiny thin little shoes), walking the streets of Rome and freezing our toes off! Still starving, we all get into Max's car and he takes us to a pizza bar ( not a bar where they sell alcohol, just a place for pizza only) where we taste our first Italian pizza...and guess what...all the pizza had yummy chips on them😊 but the pizza tasted awful not like our South African pizza - all spiced up - this was bland, just a thick tomato base with cheese and topped with chips. ( And pizza was supposed to come from Italy (rolling eyes face))
Although the pizza was awful, there was a hot waiter who served us, which made up for the tasteless pizza (sigh! I will never forget him!!!)
We then parked the car at the train station where we had to catch a train at 9'o clock in the night to go
into the city. This was real scary for us as back home in SA we don't even use the train in the day!! But hey we were in Rome and everything was perfect, except our toes!!!
There were loads of Italians on the train. Our first stop - the COLLOSEUM! Dude! I know, that's extremely cool! This was where the gladiators fought. Mom said if she found a cute gladiator she would take him back home with her ( A Russel Crowe lookalike)!! But all we found were fake gladiators, that were really ugly and did not even want us to take pics with them without giving them money first ..urghhh!!!
At TREVI'S FOUNTAIN, we found this awesum shoe shop, while mom and Max were admiring the fountain. Max seemed a bit disappointed that we preferred a shoe shop to the legendary Trevi's fountain!! but hey we are teenage girls and we are in Italy and shopping is our middle name Sorry Max maybe on our next trip we will be more grown up but for now, let's SHOP!!!
Now we really had to get going, we could not feel our toes anymore, so we
Rome at night
Krisel at one of the sights took the train back to where the car was parked and started this long drive to the club that Max had promised to take us to earlier, but by now we were so cold and so tired that all we wanted to do was just go back to the apartment and sleep!!! But Max said we would just go for one drink to the club and if we did not like it there, then we would leave. The club was awful, just a handful of old people sitting around drinking and watching this live Rock band playing. We ordered some delicious drinks and chips which were really expensive and then Krisel and I found some comfy sofas and fell off to sleep until mom and Max were ready to leave. That was our first day in Europe!!!
