Day 21 - Rome, Italy
We were supposed to be flying home today, but the flight was overbooked. I really wanted to see my hamster, and mom felt bad for me. So she gave $400 out of the $4500 Air Canada gave us. They also let us stay in a hotel for free and we got free meals. I still want to see my hamster Mocha as soon as possible. i hope he is still somewhat well behaved.
We didn't really do anything today - just stayed in our room. It was pretty boring watching Cartoon Network in Italian, but at least we had the internet! Tomorrow we will be flying back to Toronto.

Day 20 - Rome, Italy
We cisited the famous Trevi fountain and made a wish while tossing a coin over our left shoulders. The way my dad says it, it sounds like " Toast a card over your left soldier" ! Then we went to a famous flight of stairs. We took a few pictures at the top and climbed back down. At our hotel, I think the two people at the reception desk remind me of a mad scientist and his hunchbacked helper who does all the work. Sometimes I think really weird thoughts.
Today is our last day of vacation and we hace to go back tomorrow. But I enjoyed it. My favourite part was the animals. I liked petting horses and feeding pigeons. I even saw a cat sleeping on the seat of a motorcycle!

Day 19 - Rome, Italy
We went to Florence today and went inside the Uffisi Gallery and saw many famous paintings. I could tell Mom enjoyed it very much, Although I wasn't as interensted. But I know that I have to do whatever I can to make her happy. My favourite part of the day was when I bought a necklace from a guy. He used wire and twisted my name so that the necklace has my name on it.

Day 18 - Rome, Italy
We left the cruise today and took the traing back to Rome. Now that the cruise is over, I can't wait to go home! When we got back to Hotel Canada, we rested for and hour and went our for lunch. After that, we went to the Colosseum. It was really cool, and the audioguides we rented were interesting. the highlight of my day was when we visited a fountain and I got to dip my feet in the water. It was really hot, so it felt good. After dinner, we had a special treat - watermelon! It Was so good, I haven't had one in a while. I am so glad the internet is free, because we can use as much as we want now.
Dad is so nice because I got a lot of water on the bathroom floor and he cleaned it up. He didn't even get mad!

Day 17 - Cruise; Rome, Italy
Today we docked in Rome. We had to get up at 5:00 am again. We were so early that Dad and I were the first ones off the ship!
We went to Vatican and cisited the houge museum there, St. Peter's Church, and the Sistine Chapel. At the chapel, we saw the famous painting by Michelangelo on the ceiling. It was very detailed.
When we were done, we all had some more coconut ice cream and I got to feed some pigeons a croissant I saved from breakfast. Mom noticed that one bird was too shy to take a piece from my hand and too slow to grab it on the ground. Poor bird!
After dinner, we watched our waiters Michael and Richard plus the rest of the waiters sing a goodbye song. It was nice, but I forgot it already.

Day 16 - Cruise; Livorno, Italy
Today we went to the Leaning Tower of Pisa. I noticed that lots of people were taking pictures that looked like they were holding up the tower. At 11:20, we climbed all the way up 294 steps, but I counted 312. It was tiring, but the view at the top was amazing. Mom was really scared that we would fall off, though. Now I can say I climbed that tower!
Later we had some coconut flacoured ice cream. I should see if they have some in the ice cream shop at home!

Day 15 - Cruise; Sea Day
Today was a really good day because we just stayed on the ship. Right after breakfast in the buffet, we went to the mini golf course and met a really nice Russian boy named Paul. We played mini golf with him. At 11:00 am, I went to another teen activity. We were supposed to be painting rings, but after we were done, we went on a scavenger hunt. It was really hard but fun. Our supervisor gave us a photo album of close up things on the ship and we had to go find them when we were done. We only got 12 while the other group got 14. It was time for lunch when I came back. We went swimming at 3:00 pm and I saw Meena. She gave me her email.
At night we went to a show about the Beatles. I liked it, but my parents thought it was boring. We have to wake up early tomorrow so I hope we sleep well.
