Italy Tour | Part Two


  Hello everybody!
  This week is the follow on blog post from my 'Italy Tour | Part One'. If you haven't seen that yet before reading this, go back, read that one and come back to this and it will make a lot more sense! Last time I wrote about Venice and Florence. Now I'm writing about Rome! So here is my amazing experience in Rome...

  ... Backtracking a bit. We were just finishing in Florence by watching an orchestra of about 20 people who were playing live music in Piazza Della Signoria.
  
  And the next day begins, travelling and the enjoyment of Rome. We travelled from Florence train station and arrived at Termini Station in Rome and walked to our hotel called 'The Britannia Hotel'. Once we had been taken to our room we went to have lunch at a small café/restaurant near the hotel. After lunch we walked down 'Via Nacionale' and made our way to the Trevi Fountain, it was so beautiful and breathtaking you could hardly believe it was only a fountain! After seeing the beautiful fountain we walked down to the Pantheon which is an old temple. After doing some exploring we went back to the hotel to unpack a bit and get ready for the evening. For dinner we went to Target which had a lovely large variety of meals! That concludes my first day! 


  On our next day we had a fun packed day! We had breakfast in the hotel and then set off for the Colosseum. We had booked a guided tour which made it a lot better to understand the history behind it all. We also got to go around the Roman Forum (which was still guided) and the Palantine Hill, where the rich and famous of the Romans built their villas. We were tired but happy after exploring one of the most famous sights in the world! So we went back to our hotel as it was so hot (37 degrees C!) and rested for a while. Then it came to early evening so we  began to get ready for dinner. After our dinner we went back to our hotel to get a good nights rest.



  I now move onto our third and final day. We went to the Vatican City, the smallest state in the world and saw the breathtaking views all around St Peter's Square. We didn't go into the Sistine Chapel, but we saw St Peter's Basilica where the Pope lives. We got the bus back after visiting Vatican City. We then went to the Spanish Steps which is very famous after appearances in many different movies. We had a lovely walk around the Borghese Park After seeing the last sights of the holiday, there was one more place I wanted to go to.... Come Il Latte which is an amazing gelateria that I descoverd on a snapchat story of 'Top 10 Best Dessert Places'. The icecream flavour I ordered was banana and cookies and cream! It was probably the best icecream I've EVER tasted!!! After that we made our way back to the hotel and rested until it was time to get ready for the evening. For dinner we went to Target again and had an amazing last meal.


  The next day we went to the ... Airport and stayed at the Hilton where we rested for an early morning 
flight. And that is where our journey in Italy ended...

  That was my experience in Italy and it was so amazing. From the minute we left and until the minute we landed it was all incredible. I hope you enjoyed this 2 part blog. It was so nice to do another travel blog. That's all for this week. See you next week for another blog post! Love you all!
  Byyeee!!!!
