Ciao a tutti!
That means 'hi everyone', in Italian. On Monday morning we got up really early, about 3am and drove to the airport. We flew from London to Rome and it only took 2.5 hrs. It was really hot and we got on a bus and then the underground train (the metro) to our hotel.
We had lunch near the colleseum and took a few photos. We didn't go in because it was too busy and we were tired. We were so tired that we went back to the hotel and slept from 5pm until the morning!
In the morning we went to the Vatican City. Did you know it is a country as well as a city? It was really really hot. We listened to a tour guide with an ear phone. We saw lots of old and funny statues. My Dad took a photo with his finger up a statues nose, that was so funny. At the end we went into the very famous Sistine Chapel where Michael Angelo did all the paintings on the ceiling, but we weren't allowed to take pictures in there. Me and my brother had a gelato (icecream), I had
lemon and Ethan had chocolate.
We rested at the hotel in the middle of the day and went and sat on the Spanish Steps. There were a lot of people there and there was a man singing. We then walked to the Trevi Fountain and I threw a coin over my shoulder and made a wish. I'm not telling what I wished for.
Tomorrow we are driving Perugia and visiting a place called Asissi. We are meeting a friend there. I cant wait because my Dad said that our hotel has a swimming pool!
