When in Rome... Do as the tanned sisters do!

Rome, Italy


We had to get up really early this morning (around 4) to get our flight to Rome. Our flight was pretty good but I wasn't feeling well. We got to Rome and I started to feel better. We walked to our hostel from the train station. It's called Pink Floyd and we walk through a nice garden to get there. We have to unlock a gate to get in.

After we checked into the hostel, we bought tickets for the bus. It's a double decker bus with an open top and it takes us to all the cool sites in Rome. First we went to ANCIENT ROME! We saw the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Palatino. Our tickets were free too!

Then we took the bus to Trevi Fountain. We had supper at a nice Italian place. We each ate a whole pizza! I payed for supper for my sisters. Then we had Gelato. I got mixed Berry Gelato. It was really good! Tomorrow we will have another fun day in Rome before we go to Paris.

Italian words of the day: por favore: please
grazie: thank you

I'm Jealous

Hi A; J: &V:
You are a wonder....getting a blog away already! Sounds wonderful. Did you throw a coin in the Trevi fountain? I like the sound of your hostel, with the locked gate....less for your old worrywart nana and dunderhead to worry about. Love you....take care...Love, Nana & Papa

Hi Val,
I've been following your Blog through each place you have visited...it's almost like being there with you. Thanks for writing about all the things you have seen and done for those of us back home in London (the littler one.) I especially liked when you made Ollie hold your purse. Keep enjoying your wonderful holiday and I'll keep enjoying your Blog. Say Hi to your Mom and Dad and sisters for me.

Hi nieces, Val, love the blog, keep up the good work. We hope the three sisters enjoy their backpacking adventure. Dad is probably use to carrying shopping bags for his girls,.... but Ollie carrying your purse.......I hope he had matching heels! Love Aunt Kath and Mike
