Ok your probably not going to read this for a while because you probably checked the blog and saw no new blog... that is because we were at a cafe next to the bus that was going to take us to Pompeii and my mom set down her bag, which had my ipad, my computer, her computer, and both of our passports!! yea so she left it there and we were about 10 blocks away before we realized we forgot it, we couldn't go back:( so the bus tour people put it in their office. so i couldt blog for about 3 days... we went to pompeii and saw a bunch of stones and vases and a dead dog and about 4 or 5 people in plaster and we saw their bones.
The next day we went to capri and anacapri. Capri is the lower part of the island and anacapri is the higher part of the island, ana means above so = above Capri. At this place you can get a ski lift ride on a one person chair lift up to the very top and then it takes you back down, it was really cool:)
the next day we went to Sorrento, Italy (i probably spelt that wrong) and the hotel was NIIIIIIICE. they had a very awesome veiw, an orange, lemon, and comaquot (lol) grove. Reynolds and i threw lemons off of the the edge of the hotel cliff thing and they hit the water or the deck below.. oopsy... then we stopped because the dude below called the desk and told them of someone throwing lemons, so they called the police and i saw them at the hotel so yea... why am i telling you this... lol,
so we left that hotel, not because of that but becaus ethe tour people were taking us to the next place - Florence, Italy. Florence is known for their leather work, so we obviously got some stuff there.. tehehe.. My mom got a coat, we got hannah something, and of siimilar kinds of a type of thing (confusing speech) for the guys... We got some other things at the markets also.
We then took the fastest (and only) train i've been on. it had chairs that faced eachother and i liked those, roo and i walked back to the eating cart and got some pasta, fanta, and pringles (great mix, huh?) i like trains more than planes because you are on the ground going really fast that looks cool and because there is no turbulance so you can always walk around...
the train took us to Venice, Italy, which is famous for their glass making, and we got off and had to carry our bags up a long bridge, funfun...lol... we got to our hotel and went to the sqaure of st. mark, with the famous pigeons, and you know how pigeons wont go towards you? well roo and i went up to them with food/snacks and they flew up onto us on our heads and arms and it was the best part of the day:) today we had a walking tour and we went back to St mark's square and we went inside the buildings. The tour guide tod us, and i saw, that there was more than 80,000 square meters of gold on the cielings in there!! i was (thinking) like, "can i have a ladder?" yea, so there was literaly TONS of gold. after that we went to the glass factory and the dude made a vase and kitty for us and it was so cool to watch, then we bought alot of stuff there... lol:P
So here i am in Venice on a pre-pay computer, lol... i come home on wednesday morning(get there late at night) I AM SO READY TO GET TO A COUNTRY WITH ENGLISH AS THE MAIN LANGUAGE...lol... no its been nice here but im just ready to get home...
Ready for home my pillow,
Jeff
