9.TRIP TO ITALY

Hi! I'm Mònica Nogué and in this video I'm going to explain you some things about my last school trip to Italy. During the trip we visited Florence, Pisa, Rome and The Vatican.

We spent the whole morning of the first day visiting Pisa. There, we saw the leaning tower, the cathedral or Duomo of Pisa and its baptistery. We took a lot of photos of ourselves trying to hold the tower, they are really original. We also climbed the dome and saw incredible views.

After having lunch, we took the train and went to Florence. We went to a viewpoint and took incredible photos there too. After that, we spent the afternoon walking around the city. I really liked the city style of Florence. It’s a big city with such beautiful buildings and nice people. We spent the next two days visiting the most touristic points like the cathedral or the Uffizi’s art gallery. The places that I enjoyed most were the cathedral, where we climbed to the top and saw incredible views, the Vecchio Bridge and the academy, where we saw David. The sculpture of David it’s bigger than it looks in photos!

In Florence we had a lot of free time which I and my friends spent walking around the city, taking photos and shopping. In Florence, I just bought some pasta and cheese for my family. Another thing I really liked in Florence was the hotel. The food was good and we also had free Wifi. Thanks to that we could communicate with people of other rooms and meet to hang out together.

In the third day we took a train and went to Rome. After we had lunch, we went to Piazza Venezia and visited Santa Maria degli Angeli e dei Martiri. Then, we visited the ‘typewriter’ and the Pantheon. It was quite shocking because I had only seen it in movies and photos. Finally we visited the Trevi Fountain. I had never seen such a big fountain before and it was quite shocking too. I really liked it. We took really beautiful photos there.

In the second day in Rome we went to The Vatican. We visited Vatican museums in the morning. There is so much to see! Then we had lunch and went to St.Peter. We climbed the dome and saw the view of all the Vatican. It was amazing. We also saw the well-known Sistine Chapel.

In the last day we went to the Coliseum and saw how amazing and big it is. It’s really impressive what people back then used to do there. They made people fight between themselves and even animals! There is a saying that they used to organize ship battles flooding part of the Coliseum.

What I enjoyed most in Rome was the Coliseum and the Pantheon. One night that we had free time, Blanca, Elena, Laura and I saw a dance company recording some kind of a sample for a casting of a known TV show in Rome. It was so nice to see.

Generally, the weather was good all of the days and this made the trip more enjoyable. The day that we visited the Coliseum was the hottest. We had a lot of free time most of the days so we could explore the cities by ourselves. We ate pasta or pizza almost every day.

I have to say that the place I like most is Florence. I wish I could travel there again someday! Although, there are a lot of things in Rome that we didn’t visit so if there’s any opportunity to go there again I would really accept it.

In conclusion, this was a really good experience for me and I really had fun with my classmates. Maybe someday we could travel all together again!
