Got to the leaning tower of Pisa and got plenty of pics! :) we arrived in Florence and and went straight on another walking tour of the city and of course with our luck it started raining haha. We went to a leather demonstration as Florence is known for its pure leather. We learnt how to tell between real leather and fake leather. After that we were all keen to get to our hostel and have hot showers and change out of our soaking wet clothes. That night was one of the first early nights we've had on the trip. Today we cruised around the city and took in the beautiful architecture before hopping on the coach and heading to Rome. I'm really looking forward to Rome :).
Rome is gorgeous! We went to the pantheon, Trevi fountain, the Spanish steps and the Coliseum. Unfortunately the Trevi fountain was under construction but everything else was pretty cool. My favourite was easily the Coliseum. It was absolutely amazing to see. A bit creepy thinking of how many people and animals died in there. We also went on a tour of the Vatican. Such beautiful architecture and statues and we even got to see the Pope. A couple of us went to an Irish pub to watch the origin at 12pm. Only 3 of us blues supporters, but super happy with the win and we made sure we rubbed it in to the others. We all got dressed up in our beauty and the geek outfits for our themed party. Such a fun night! We all went to bed at about 3:30am and had to be up and on the coach at 6:15am that was definitely a struggle. Today we got on our ferry to take us from Rome to Athens. It's a 24 hour trip and we are ten minutes in and we are all already going crazy haha. We watched the sunset over the ocean which was absolutely gorgeous and we made sure plenty of titanic quotes were used.
Hope everything is well back home, missing everyone. Next stop Greece :)
