by putting all those emails in i dont really imply that you need to read them all but it would be fine if you did
last days
yesterday we got up at 6:30 and ate breakfast. and then a taxi arrived (mercedes) and we went to the airport were everything went smoothly. until we got to the gate and in ryan airs flights its ga not assigned seats, so everyone was rushing in line so they could be on the plane first, but we had priority seats so we got to load onto the plane first anyway. when up in the air a lady in the isle across from us was getting a bag above her and another bag fell and landed on an old ladies head. and she was pretty hurt but ok and the other lady didnt even ask if she was ok or so sorry. but any way we got home safe and the taxi was nice home and when we got home laura took a nap and i went to the butchers and got a sausage roll. then the girls got home and got there presents from laura (a panokio) and for dinner we went to mcdonalds. i played with the girls then they went to bed. and simon got back from london and we had ice cream cones wile watching a comedian show then to bed... today i woke up and played with scarlet. and me and laura went to kate's house then to AZDA (english walmart) and it was very similar to walmart and laura bought me tons of sweets and biscuits and crisps for my flight. i ate a sausage roll in the cafeteria at azda and it was terrible, we got home and i played with the girls wile laura made shepherds pie and i packed. the shepherds pie was pretty good w/ corn and ice cream ...mmm and spotted dick for pudding, i like spotted dick (haha eww puke puke) but really it was good. then the girls went to bed and i got cuddles and kisses from zena but not from scarlet, then watched bigbrother w/ simon and laura wile making a facebook for laura hahah...
when in rome
on friday me and laura got up at 3:00 am, and the cab arrived at about 4:00. on the way we figured out that michael jackson was dead, can we have a moment of silence in his memory (....................................) jk haha but any way. we went to the east midland airport. which was pretty small and nice and we had priority seats (woowoo look at me moving up in the world) on ryan air (which is cheap and notoriously bad) but it was a nice flight, and i have realized that i LoVe flying i really do. it was a short flight and we were then in rome!!! we got a taxi to the hotel, and the driving is sooooooo relaxed were people were just merging in and out of lanes with no turn signals or anything and most the time your in the middle of the road, (it was pretty scary) but it was nice that the cars were back to normal and driving on the right side of the road (most of the time). also there was graffiti EVERYWERE really on every wall. on one of the main streets it was so bad that you could rarely see the wall. and sadly it was mostly tags not street art. then we dropped our bags off at the hotel and went toward the forum. it turns out we went the wrong way around it and so we had to back track and you had to buy a ticket but you couldnt buy a ticket for just the forum you had to buy it for the forum and the coliseum. so we decided to do that on sun. then we went and got some pizza and it was sooo good. then we went back to the hotel and had a nap. after that we went to the pantheon and piazza navona. the pantheon was outstanding. and then we went to the trevi fountain. i threw a coin in and we went to a restaurant down the street were i had spaghetti and it was amazing i think it was the Parmesan cheese that made it sooo good. for pudding we had gelato which is the best thing EVER its so smooth and creamy. after that we had an early night for an early morning the next day... on saturday we got up at 6:30 and had breakfast at the hotel and a taxi from a tour company was waiting for us outside and we went to the company building to buy the tickets for our tour of the Vatican. wile waiting for the bus we both made sure people thought we were english. because there was an american family that was acting bad and screaming and insulting this poor taxi driver because they wanted to hold the tour bus so they could go back to the hotel and get some glasses that they left. it was very embarrassing. but we left toward the vadican with out them THANK GOD. and me and laura were making bad jokes, about them and micheal jackson, and the tour, and basically anything. we got to the Vatican and all the other tour guides had sticks with crap on top or something so that there group will know were to go/follow. our guide, (who obviously didnt like her job and wasnt very good at it) had a newspaper to hold up. it was pathetic, she didnt give much info and it was partially incorrect , but the Sistine chapel was AMAZING. me and laura decided to ditch the tour and go back through the rest of the museum that the tour guide decided to skip right through. then we went to the pizzeria in the vatican museum and they only had cheese pizza and it wasnt very good either. then we went to the vatican post office and sent a couple of post cards. after that we went to St. Peters... it was soo beautiful. we went in and it was sooo big and soo amazing, and we saw Michelangelo's pieta, and it was gorgeous. i then went up into the dome of st.peters wile laura wandered outside. first the stairs took me to the inner part of the dome were i saw a ton of mosaic and painting, then up to the roof, then to the top of the dome, and you could walk all the way around it and it was soooo amazing seing all of rome from the top of st. peters. then i went back down (a different way) and on the roof there was another post office and gift shop. then back down. over 1000 steps twice but it was worth it. we were both very tired me more than her and we folded and took the bus back to the hotel for another nap. i didnt sleep i rested for a bit then went and shopped in the street next to our hotel. for dinner we went to a restaurant next to the hotel and it wasnt as good as the night before but ok. then more gelato.....mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... on sunday we got up at 7:00 and had breakfast on the roof again then walked to the coliseum. and i geuss they close most of the roads on sunday because the 2 main streets outside the hotel were closed along w/ other small streets we saw later. but we went around the coliseum twice before finding the entrance and we got there early so there wernt alot of people and it wasnt so hot. and i thought it would be crumbling and about to fall any minute but no it is very intact and solid. it left me speachless. we wondered around after that trying to find the forum and after about 45 min. we found it (like 5 min. away) we wondered around there and i didnt like it. it was just a bunch of crumbled collums and buildings, and not very nice. we then headed across the street to the pizza place we went to the 1st day. and i have to say it was even better. we rested at the hotel for a couple of hours then went to the spanish steps and some church (we went to like 10 churchs and walked in on 2 weddings) we saw some street artists and all the high end shops ( gucci, prada, dulche and cabana) all that crap were on the way. after the 2 sites we went back to the trevi fountain area and shopped and ate at a restaurant were i had a pizza (bigger than my head) with ham and it was sooooo good the best pizza in ages. we talked about family, and she kept mentioning people from normans side that she thought i would know but we know nothing. then we got our last gelato and stopped at our vending courner (that i forgot to mention) but its a little area of vending matines and they have beer and alcohol in them because there is no drinking age...
