Today we caught a train to Orvieto, an old town high on a mountain. Our train was delayed by 20 minutes. It was took an hour to get to Orvieto. Went up the hill in a furnicular. First we walked  around the town. Then we went to a restaurant I had cabonara it was really nice. Then We had a ricotta & chocolate torte. Then we walked up to church the front had pieces of gold on it and black and white striped bricks. Then inside was mesmerising. Then we looked in some shops. Then it was gelato time.

Eating day

Rome

Today we went to the time elevator which is a movie but the seats move and water falls on you  it was really interesting. Then we looked for a special chocolate shop that found eventually. It was really nice it had a lovely smell of melting chocolate. Then we went to an gelato shop called Fridgedarium. I had Fridgedarium flavoured gelato it was the best. Then we went out for a really nice lunch. I had delicious lamb and everyone else had pasta. Mum went shopping then we had pizza for dinner. It was a great day.

 

 

 

 

Rome

 Today we had a delicious breakfast of pastries & cereal. Then we went castl san angelo. Which was the castle emperor Hadrian built as his tomb. From the top there was a really good view. He was the same Hadrian who built the wall we saw in England. Then we got a boat it went  along the Tiber river. Then we went to the Leonardo da Vinci mesuem. It was really interesting. Benj said he mostly just emproved lots of what Archimedes did. Then we had gelato I had pear caremel and hazelnut. Then we went to the colleseum I was really disappointed with it and the guide we had was really quiet. Then we went to the ancient forum which was much better than the colleseum. Then we went out for dinner I had pasta and then we had tiramisu.

 

 

 

 

Rome

Today we woke up early and went to piazza Navona and the pantheon. The Pantheon was stunning. There was lots of marble and tombs inside. The domed roof was amazing. The interior was mesmerising. After that we went to the Trevi fountain. It wasn't the best thing I saw today.Then we had gelato I had hazelnut and caramel. Then we had a delicious lunch at a little bar. I had bruschetta. There was a man who played the accordion. He kept drinking more and wine. After we walked to the capuchin monks crypt it was scary because the walls and the roof are decorated with bones and skulls from the dead monks.  Then we had pizza for dinner.

 

 

 

 

 

Italy

Today we went to Rome the train  2 hours late it was a horrible train ride, the train was delayed by floods. It was the worst train ride ever. Then we went to the apartment it's really nice. Then we got dinner at a close Italian restaurant, I had pasta carbonara, it was good but not as good as Dads.

 

Italy-Joe

Today we walked around Positano. It was so sunny in the afternoon. There was amazing cheese cake at breakfast. It was delicious. After breakfast.we walked uphill to get Benj somerhing to eat because he wanted to savour some of the local pastries. Then we went to the square It was really busy. Then we went back to the hotel. Mum & dad went and got lunch that we ate in the apartment, It was ok. Then we went to the quieter beach and it was so nice and cool but avery long walk down. The reataurant on the beach had an Australian flag. It was very refreshing, Benjamin and I had a great time,  the Mediterranean Sea is very salty and it is so easy to float. For dinner we went to the same place that we did on the first night. I had a pizza. For dessert we had tirimusu. It was a really nice dinner. Tonight is our last night in Positano.
