Rome

Buon giorno/Hello

We're in Rome, the capital of Italy. Rome is a very old city and it has some buildings that are nearly 2000 years old. Some of these buildings have been restored (fixed up) so you can see what they used to look like, others are just the remains of buildings (ruins).
Some of the buildings we went to visit were:


the Pantheon


the Colosseum


and St Peters Basilica at the Vatican.

We also saw some fantastic fountains and statues:

 Bernini's Elephant
 Trevi Fountain
 Arch of Constantine
the Leaky Boat

We also love Italian food. We are eating:

 pizza
 lasagne
spaghetti bolognaise
and gelato. Very yummy.

Our favourite day in Rome was Friday, October 12. It was Matthew's birthday and we went to Gladiator School. It was fantastic.




Arrivederci/Good bye
