Foto Da Italia















On Saturday the 24th of July, I woke up at the horrible beautiful time of 3am, to drive with my family to Gatwick, to catch our flight to Italy.

We did a whole variety of things but instead of reeling off what we did each day, I thought I'd just tell you a few of the more interesting things that we did/happened.

The weather was amazing! It apparently reached 45°C the day we were wandering around Venice. So, obviously, we did lots of swimming at the pool and the beach. We also hired a pedalo with a curly slide twice during the fortnight, and that was brilliant fun! My sister and I, also hired a bike thing (technical term) a few times, which was equally as good! 

During the holiday, I ate enough pizza and ice cream to feed the country. Despite there being hundreds of flavours to choose from, my favourite was definitely chocolate. Although I did have a pineapple one, which was also really lovely.

While I was away, I did some shopping, so expect a haul soon! We visited both Venice and Verona, both of which were really good days out. While in Verona we went to Juliet's balcony, the Arena as well as Juliet's tomb.

Okay, can someone clear this up for me, was the character Juliet based on a real person, or was the tomb a load of nonsense?


Overall, I had a really lovely holiday. It was great having a relaxing break, but we've already got ideas for next year.... And let's just say, it might not be quite so relaxing...

  3. Oh I've been to Venice and it is lovely. I really enjoyed it!
    I went with college, and we had a day trip planned for Verona. Well we turned up, and everyone was crowding in one area - we soon discovered that there had been an earthquake warning and the tutors quickly phoned our coach to pick us up again! So we got about an hour in Verona xD Didn't get to see Juliet's balcony!
