Rome, one of the most beautiful cities in the world. From the shutters on the windows, to the pizza shops on every corner, to the delicious gelato.
When we got to Rome we went into our apartment. It was really nice but really small. We walked about 15km on the first day of being there, and it was only half a day! We walk everywhere. The first thing we walked to was the colosseum. It was hard to get in because the line was long, but we managed to do it. It was really giant. Gargantuan! There was a maze inside of it!
After that we walked around the city. It was amazing. My mum had to stop at every leather boot shop, and that was like every second shop so it was getting irritating. Then again, they had to stop for me at every sports store in Rome, so it evens out.
There were people setting up Christmas lights and
decorations on the streets. Every corner that we turned was like a museum. After walking around all day, we went back to our apartment. I cooked pasta that night and it was actually really delicious!
The next morning, we walked to the colosseum again because the first day my brother and I saw this four person bike/car thing that looked really fun. We got there and hired it. It was 20€ for 1 hour, but my dad, being Egyptian, bargained it down to 15€!
It had a steering wheel and was more like a car than a bike... but you have to pedal. My dad was driving it on the road like a real car. I felt like such a tourist! We were peddling up a big hill. I asked my dad if I could have a go and he said, “Yes, but don't kill us." I'm actually a really great driver, which is surprising because I'm Egyptian!!! After the hour was up we took it back to the guy.
After that we were walking and walking... and walking! We started to get peckish so decided to get a pizza. But then we were really starving so we got a pizza each... mmm!

The next morning was our last one in Rome. We walked around the city for an hour
and then came back to the house to get our luggage. We were off to Florence! In
Rome, the people are so relaxed! We caught a taxi to the train station and here I am
right now writing this on the the train.
