Today we got to explore Rome! We started our tour with the biggest and most well known structure, the Colosseum. It was amazing, they built it in about 8 years. It's a bit surreal being there, it's not every day you get to visit the colosseum. Then we went to the Roman Forum where we got to see where Julius Caesar was cremated and many other important events. I was starving so i had a pizza near the colosseum. Half way through i found half a bug in my pizza! Had to complain to the manager but its a bit weird in Italy/ europe as the customers are never right, and they were hesitant to give me a refund for a pizza i couldn't finish. After that we travelled to a different country, Vatican City. It is so amazing, the artwork and sculptures are incredible! We visited the Sistine Chappell where we got to see Michelangelo's genius artwork. We spent a whole day touring Rome, then we had our last dinner together as a group, where we had a four course meal at a nice restaurant where they had beautiful Italian opera singers sing to us all night. Today we are

making our way to Athens but unfortunately our flights are delayed for 2hrs due to a strike in Athens airport. I may not be able to post anything for a few days until I can get some Internet access but most of it will be just traveling from one place to another. Talk to you again in Greece!
