I’ve been planning this trip for weeks. This blog is to tell my friends what I’m doing while I’m in Italy for 4 weeks.
Week 1
I’ve been in Italy since Tuesday lunchtime. I’m in Venice now. This afternoon, I’ve been rowing. Most people go on the canal in the gondola but I wanted to be different. Tonight I met someone in the hotel. He’s from England too. We’re going out to listen to some jazz music.
Everything’s going well so far. Weather is great. Not too hot. Not too cold.
Week 2
I’ve been in Milan for the past three days. Everybody here loves to shop. And eat. There’re lots of restaurants—my favourite is a little pizza restaurant. I’ve been here twice already! I’ve also been to the Duomo. That’s the 4th largest church in the world.
Week 3
I’m in Rome now, but I’ve visited lots of little towns on the way. I went to the Colosseum. Wow! There was a large crowd waiting to get in. The place is amazing. It’s been there since 80 AD. 73,000 people could have seats there for big events.
Week 4
Naples. I went out of the city to have a visit. It rained. I’ve come back to the hotel now to get dry and pack for the journey home.
