By the way, did I tell you about my trip to Italy?
Yes, the one we did two weeks ago. Probably not, well, I'll explain it to you.
First I'm going to talk about my first thoughts of it, then all the places we
visited and finally my opinion.
To begin with, I'm going to say that it was such a
dream come true. I have lots of friends who have done this trip before, and
what they told me was more or less the same I felt there.
At 4:45 we were all supposed to be at the school and
ready to go, but we had to wait for some people who where late. After this
incident, approximately at 5:05 we were driving road to Barcelona. All my
classmates and I were so enthusiastic about the trip. We were at the
airport of Barcelona at eight and we arrived at eleven to Italy. We get into
the bus until we were in Sirmione, where we had lunch. We ate homemade Italian
pizza for the first time. After lunch, we visited the city of Sirmione and went
to the hotel. We saw some amazing things in that city, like a purple shop and a
place where you can warm your feet. When we were installed at the hotel, we
left to see Verona. There we were able to visit the Arena and the Julieta’s
balcony. We had a great time there and we took some photos. Some of us ate some
kind of ice cream.
The next day, we woke up early in the morning and went
to Venice, where we first visited the Piazza di San Marco, and we met with
students of Josep Brugulat high school. In our free time we went shopping and
walking through the streets of the city. After that, we got into the vaporetto
and got back to the hotel. Venice was really amazing and beautiful.
At midnight, some of my friends came to my room to
wish me a happy birthday, because it had just started. In the morning we were
at Firenze, there we saw Santa Maria del Fiore and the Ponte Vecchio. After
lunch, we had some free time to buy presents for our families and that kind of
things. As I said, it was my birthday so my friends prepared me a surprise and
brought me a cake after dinner.
On Thursday we went back to Firenze and went up the
cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, there were such amazing views. We had time
for art, too, because we went to the Galeria dell’Accademia to see some
important works of art. Then we went to San Niccolò to watch the views of the
city. From there we were able to see other important buildings of Frienze.
We spent the last day in Pisa. We took some selfies
with the tower and we were able to go upstairs and see everything from there.
We met some people there and took photos with them. We had really fun.
After it, we took a bus to the airport. We had a very
long delay, so we arrived later the thought. We were all very tired and at 3:00
am we were at the school again.
