il nostro giro d'italia

(Guest blog post by Nelly)

We just landed in Italy! After a short flight from Liverpool, we made it to Rome.

As soon as we dropped off our bags, we settled in for a delicious pasta and pizza dinner! We went to see the Colosseum! It was very rainy, but we enjoyed it a lot. It was fascinating to see the amazing work that the people put in to build it 2000 years ago. It was amazing and we’re all very grateful to see it together.

Many gelatos later, we made it to Tuscany and Siena. We found the coolest thing; a hot spring called Termi di Petriolo! It was boiling, but super relaxing.

We then spent a week doing another dog-sit in the small town of Vicenza, where we were lucky enough to see the Giro d'Italia as it passed through. And we had yummy pasta at a food festival with hundreds of locals.

Finally, our highlight of Venice, we went on a gondola ride! It was superb. We saw all the small canals of Venice, and we enjoyed every moment.

Italy was so relaxing and fun.
