Versailles.

We went to Versailles and we went to the palace of Versailles the fountains were not working.
We saw frogs in the gardens and went inside the grand palace and the Marie Antoinette palace.      


                                                                                           
It was very flash and it had lots of gold leaf and mirrors.

Pisa + Chinque terre

                PISA + CHINQUE TERRE
Pisa:
a couple of days ago we went to Pisa to see the leaning tower of Pisa. nobody knows i'ts original name but I'ts purpose is to be a bell tower, but now I'ts just a tourist trap.
I think it went on a lean because there was mushy ground under it and it didn't have very god foundations, and the more mushy bit of ground sunk over time and the more solid bit of ground stayed up.
so now the leaning tower of Pisa is on a lean (or at least that's how I think it goes so leave a comment if I got it wrong).
                           Notice the top of the tower is a bit more straight than the rest.
There were dozens and dozens of people acting like they were holding the tower up... so Teddy did the same!                       duna duna duna duna duna duna duna duna
                                                            tourist Teddy!
       There were also churches you could go to but I think I'd had enough churches for now.
(In getting to Rome + Rome everybody is commenting on the dead pope he actually is real and dead his body is just really well preserved, but if he isn't dead we better rush him to the hospital because he hasn't been breathing since 1978.)

Chinque terre:
yesterday we went to Chinque terre (pronounced chink-weh-tear-e) to go for a hike... but even getting there seemed like a hike on its own.
It was so(ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo) hot but we kept on hiking,

 so by the time we got to a bridge I had a very serious case of hat hair.


Hat hair--->

<---Bridge.




At the end me and dad thought we deserved a break so we went to a restaurant that just happened to be at the right place at the right time

sprite time!

Capri.

When we were walking down to the boat from our campsite I was thinking it would be like the other places we have been to, rocks, pillars and vases.
We hopped onto the boat, it was like the size a speed boat but times 3 and it had a roof over most of it except the front of the boat.
While we were boating (driving across the water on a boat) I got changed into my shorts because it was getting really hot ,in the portaloo like bath room while getting thrown around by the boat.


After a wile a person spoke into a really loud microphone which made me jump, they said that there was a cave that we were going to go to called the blue grotto but the water was to high so we couldn't go in. when we arrived at the docking point we walked to the bus that we were going on and got tickets for it. The person on the microphone at the boat said that the bus we were going to go on after this bus ride went on a road called O(h) M(y) G(od) road I wonder why it's called that...


When we hoped off the bus we decided to go to the natural arch which was a arch of stone that made it's self here is what it looks like,
after we went to the natural arch we walked back to a restaurant that we saw on the way up, I had a cheese and salami sandwich, and dad had a cheese and salami sandwich, it was nice.                                                                
                     
After we ate that we went back to the bus and the bus was actually quite small like a big van because the roads are quite small, that's why there are lots of apes there.
the bus went along O.M.G road and we found out why it was called O.M.G road, if the bus driver made a single mistake then you would fall at least a Skytower down the cliff.


When we got of the bus we saw a chairlift that was basically a chair on a pole that went high up into the air with no glass or anything it was open to the air, it looked so(oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo)
fun but dad said that we wouldn't have enough time looking at the line for the the chair lift and then back at the line for the bus. so we went to a cafe I had a sprite (coz were on holiday) and dad had a beer (coz he's a dad).

When we finally decided to go back home we went to the... line, DUN DUN DUUUUUUUN. the line took 4 eva and eva and eva and eva because it just got bigger and bigger but eventually we got to the front of the line and let as many people in as we could so by the time we fit in all the people that we could I was squeezed in the far left corner of the bus because I'm smaller than everybody else.


After we got off the bus we got on yet ANOTHER bus to the pier but while were waiting for the bus I got a blood nose!!! (third one of the day because I had one in the middle of the night then one in the morning too). This bus wasn't too crammed and after the bus ride we found a beach that I had a nice swim in. Here are a couple of pics of me swimming in the water at Capri.










Finally we got to the boat and boated back to the campsite with our messy bungalow in it.



                                                           The end.

P.S I'm sorry I haven't done a blog post for a long time its just that the intananet has been really bad in the past few places we have stayed at. At best (dad timed it with his watch and) it took 8 minutes to load one pic and the intananet kept on dropping out and I lost my work so it took a very long time.
Going to Capri wasn't actually like just yesterday it about 4-5 days ago I only chose Capri because it was one of my favs and I can remember it well.

Mmmm Ice Cream.

Forrest's diving is getting better.
