Hello room 201!! And all my other friends & family!!
I’m sorry I am late with making new posts to my holiday blog. The internet connection at our hotel is not good so when it’s working Daddy says I need to be quick
We left Venice on Tuesday. The boat ride from the hotel to the airport was wicked awesome – and it stopped raining so we had a good ride
W
We rented a big van called a Fiat Scuda. Daddy does all the driving and says that driving here is way more dangerous than driving in Toronto
The roads here are really twisty
and we went through lots of mountains
We are staying in Pestoia. Our hotel is nice but not as nice as Venice. My favourite parts of the hotel are swimming in the pool even if it’s really cold
and kicking the soccer ball around with my family
We went to Florence and it’s really old too…
The Ufizzi Gallery and museum were kind of boring for me. Except for the Medusa painting – and I got a Medusa head pin for my shirt at the gift shop.
But afterward I got to eat more GELATTO!!
On one of the bridges in Florence there all all sorts of locks attached to each other. I don’t know why they are here but Mummy says we will try to investigate later. I picked one of the locks with a hairpin and I was really proud of myself
Today we went on a winery tour. On the way home we stopped at another old town. It’s like the places here are stopped in time. We had lunch and watched a little bit of the soccer game. Italia lost – oh no!!!
We are going to Verona tomorrow so I”ll let you know how things are going then.
Grazi (that means thank-you in Italian) for viewing and Ciao (goodbye) to everyone!!!
Oliver
XXX OOO
Hi Oliver, thank you for the News from Italy. I think the locks are put there when people get married. They throw the key into the river, so nobody can destroy their relationship. Well…..sorry for Italy that they have lost, we hope the Germans are staying in the Cup until you are coming to Berlin. I am counting the days to your arrival.
Lots of love and kises Hanna
Hi Oliver, could you please do us a favour? It is your Oma’s birthday today and Hanna and I want to wish her all the best on this occasion. Could you give her our wishes as we are not able to call her on the phone? Thank you so much.
Dear Oliver,
You need to STOP uploading pictures of gelato. It is making us hungry and terribly JEALOUS! We REALLY miss you
Try not to pick any more locks while you’re away…you never know what that might entail…
Sincerely,
Room 201
i do NOT have to stop uploading pictures of gelato because it’s soooooo yummy, I just can’t stop it. Besides, I’ll be much better after eating all of that gelato, it makes me much smarter. I wish I were there so I could see you all , but I wish you were here so you could see all these wonderful things. See you all soon.
