Italy

The last march 25th, the ESO 4 class went to Italy. We visited Barcelona, Pisa, Rome, "Venezia" and "Firenze". Our boat landed at 10 o'clock, but it was delayed, and we went to Italy at 2 a.m. of the next day. The boat was really good, but it was moving all the time, and all of us were feeling bad. The first day in Italy, we visited Rome (the coliseum, the Trevi fountain, and a lot of important places of Rome). That night we sleept on the bus. The next day we went to "Venezia", in "Venezia" we took an "espresso" and a "Gondola", we visited Saint Marco's square, rhe Rialto's bridge and all the city, "Venezia" was exciting, and I love the venice mask's. At seven o'clock in the afternoon we went to Firenze, and we slept ina nice hotel. We stayed two days in the hotel and in Firenze, but it was raining a lot, and we couldn't visit many things. That night we went to a little disco near the hotel. The following day, early the morning, we went to visit Pisa, we espected that Pisa was bigger than it really was but it was nice too. That night we took the boat to come back to spain. On the boay we had problems with a group of Italian guys. Our last travel in Escuela 2 has been fantastic.

We will always remember the "cinquecento", Canfauli, and all things we did there, and specialy the teachers and class mades.
