South Europe Trip!

On April 25 I started truly traveling and seeing the world, it changed my life! On the first day we went to Slovenia into a big cave. It was so beautiful and was huge! We had to take a train inside of it!! Then we traveled further to Trieste where we spend the evening. It was such a beautiful city next the the ocean. I twas very interesting because there were no beaches there were just board walks! Plus I had my first real Italian ice-cream! When we had dinner we learned all about the Italian gastronomy. So they have a bread before they eat. And then they make pasta as an appetizer and then they have their main meal. When we got a huge piece of lasagna it was amazing and we were so full and then came the

Main meal, always something meet. And then came the dessert of course!! So then next morning we woke up early and went to Florence! Wow it was so beautiful. We had a guided tour and learned all about the city, history, and the art. It was all so beautiful and one time I turned away from the group and took a picture and they kept going! I got lost and after like 30 minutes of running around, crying, and trying to find a phone I found them! Then again at night I went back into the city and got to see the sunset from a hill. I looked down on the city and saw the city glowing with lights!! They had a huge market in a court yard where lots of people were gathered. It was so cool cause they were all playing soccer, talking and hanging out even though it was like midnight! There were so many statues everywhere that it is just unbelievable. Unfortunately the David is in a museum so we only got to see the fake one! There tongues also a famous statues of a pig and if you put a coin on its tongue and it falls into the place below then you will for sure be going back! Mine went in! The next day we started our

Journey to Rome! Ahh it was so great! So we arrived at around 3 and we were staying out side of the city. So I took  a bus in and then I went to the Vatican. I went with an American guide and learned a lot. Then I went further into the city and wow it was so beautiful! It was around sun set and I got to watch the sun set from a bridge and it was really pretty. I mostly looked at all of the fountains and enjoyed the feeling of being in Rome! There were happy people everywhere and life in the city! I was super tired by midnight and the next day we had a guided tour of the city. It was really long and we saw everything! The colosseum was huge and amazing and so was the

Forum! I did not go into the Forum I just walked around it and it was amazing! While I was walking around I saw a market and it was full of amazing Italian meats, pastas, and sauces! It was super fun especially since it was not really for tourists! I loved Rome! The next day we went to Pisa. There is a beautiful court and in it there were 4 beautiful buildings. They were the baptistry, the church, graveyard building and the tower! Then we continued to Monaco! It was really beautiful and crazy that there were speak mountains and then right off the mountain cliff was Crystal clear blue water! Plus Monaco was really interesting since it was its own country! Then we went to Nice. It was also really beautiful and ha ha. There was a part of the city that I really liked and that was the old town part. There was tiny streets with colorful venders everywhere and wow it was really amazing! Plus there were all kinds of bakeries, places to eat and it was so amazing! Also every day in France for breakfast I had a chocolate croissant! It was really delicious!

Then we started off to Switzerland making a stop at a chocolate factory. Switzerland was beautiful and especially Luzern. We got their at night and it was crazy because we went into the city around 8 at night and I was so used to the Italian

Life style, but there was no one in the city. It was almost like a ghost town because no one was in the street and nothing was open! Ha ha. But the next day we had a tour of the city and it was truly beautiful. There were swans swimming everywhere in the water and beautiful old bridges and there was even a huge old wall. On the wall were towers and you could walk on the wall and go up some of the towers. Form the towers there was an amazing view of the city and the huge lake with mountains behind it!

The next day we went to Innsbruck Austria where we went into the Swavarki Crystal factory. I thought it was going to be really dumb but it was actually really interesting because I realized that their work is art just with crystals! Then we went to Graz! We had a guide and I really liked this city. It was kind of similar to the way Hungary is but richer. It was very similar the Vienna with the old buildings but in the shops they are full of nice things with huge glass windows. The streets were full of people and happiness. Plus there are mountains surrounding it and there is also a river in the middle of the city! I had the most amazing time traveling and I am looking forward to the next Europe trip!!!
