We are now in Italia (Italy). Roma (Rome) was our first stop, we had 3 days
in Roma. On our first day we went to the
Colosseo (Colosseum in English.) The Colosseo is a massive arena with
underground passages. The arena was used for fighting- people fought against
each other, or with bears, lions and
other vicious creatures. During the breaks the audience would throw criminals
onto the floor just to see them get eaten.
They are currently working on it so you can see what the
arena floor would have been like.

Some other places in Roma that we visited:
The Vatican City (Where the Pope lives) (It became independent from Italy so now it is a different country. It is now the smallest country in the world.)
St. Peter's Basilica, an amazing cathedral in the Vatican City.
Roman Forum
The Spanish Steps
The Trevi Fountain.

The Trevi Fountain was packed as you can see and it isn’t
even peak season yet! I don’t think that
I managed to get the whole fountain in one photo that is how big it is!

The Roman Forum is a huge set of ruins - not all of them are
buildings some are decorative arches and so on. It was amazing walking through
them. I still am not sure how it didn’t just slide straight off the mountain
that it was sitting on!

We went to many really good Gelato shops. I wanted to taste all the flavours, but I am not sure that is possible in ten days (even though you get two flavours per cone). My favourite is Pistachio.

Hi Bella, I literally just posted a comment on the top lot of photos. The gelato looks so good. I really shouldnt be posting these comments since its work time and I am at school, but I just couldnt help myself! I hope the teachers dont read this comment and find out, but they probably will. Oh well. I guess I should be going on with work again. Bye!!
