My trip to Italy

Italy is known by its famous pizza and pasta, but monuments are also important in this country. Santa Maria di Fiore or the Pisa Tower are some of them. It is located in the heart of the Mediterranian Sea and its capital is Rome, famous for the Vaticane. It has lots of ancient cities but, in my opinion, the most beautiful are Florence, Venice and Verona. We've gone there and it has been a wonderful experience. That's the reason why I'm going to explain and share this trip with all of you. 

Firstly, we met at 5.15h at the school and we took the bus to El Prat airport to fly to Milan-Malpensa airport. A bus was waiting there to take us to the first place we visited: Sirmione Sur Garda. There, we had a tasty pizza for lunch and then we visited the Lago di Garda which was very surprising. Later, we left Sirmione and we went to Verona, the city where the story of Romeo and Juliet took place. We were sleeping there so we left our luggage in Albergo Arena and we walked around the city. The Arena was one of the places we visited in Verona. It was like a Coliseum but not in Rome. We took lots of photos there and then, we had dinner. 

 We spent the second day in Venice, a wonderful city. There, we visited La Piazza di San Marco and its church; the Bridge Rialto and the place where Murano glasses are made. We had free-time in the afternoon so we could go in gondola together. We could go among “the Venice canal” with a great gondolier who explained us all the places we were passing through. Later, we came up the tower of the Piazza di San Marco and we could see all the city of Venice from there. Finally, we took the Vaporetto which carried us to the train station. Then, we took the train to come back to Verona. 

As soon as we finished to breakfast, we took a train to go to Florence. We spent there two days, the last one we left to Pisa. On Wednesday we visited the city, we had dinner and we went to Ponte Vecchio, a beautiful bridge with wonderful sights. We were all tired and we had to rest, so we went to sleep early. On Thursday morning we visited The Uffizi Gallery where there were amazing paintings like The birth of Venus or The Allegory of Spring. Then, we walked to The Cathedral of Santa Maria di Fiore where we went to the top of it (cupola of Brunelleschi) and we could see the city of Florence from there (including the Bell Tower of Giotto). After that, the people who wanted to, could go up to the Bell Tower (lot of stairs!) and we saw the cupola from there. In the afternoon, we visited The Academy where David of Michelangelo was exposed. That sculpture was very surprising because nobody of us thought it would be as big as it is! Then, we had free-time in the afternoon so we went shopping (souvenirs, pasta, etc.) 

We left Florence in the early morning to go to Lucca, an amazing ancient city near Pisa. There, we saw the tower and we relaxed in the big square of the city. Finally, we took the bus again to go to Pisa where we had lunch. We were all very hungry! In the afternoon, we had the opportunity to visit the Cathedral and the famous tower. We had free-time so we took a lot of photos with the tower. After that, a city train took us to the Galilei International Airport and, although our flight delayed for two hours, this has been an unforgettable trip. 

This trip will always be in our memories. We had a wonderful time together and we didn't want to come back home! No one could believe this trip was already ended!
