ITALY 2012. Cristina E. (2n batx A)


ITALY 2012: THE BEST TRIP OF MY LIFE

On 23rd March we went to Italia by bus. It was 15 hours. At first, it looks tired, but if you are with your school friends, it is worth and you will enjoy this trip.

The second day, we visited Uffizi Gallery in Florence and then Rocío, Judit and I went to the Dome, but a man said to us that it’s only opened on Sunday. So we decided to visit the campanile. It was a tiring and fun experience. Our teacher of Catalan had notified us that bells could ring while we were at campanile, but we thought that it wasn’t probably.

But when we were having a rest on the 3rd floor, suddenly the bells started to ring very hard and we got the fright of our life!!! Rocío shouted and then we burst out laughing because we remembered our teacher.
After climbing up 408 steps (we counted them), we could enjoy the wonderful and breathtaking sights and we gazed open-mouthed at the view. That day it was good weather and we could see all Florence.

Then, we asked a man if he could take us a photo. He was an old British man who may be a retired person and he was with his wife. When the kind man was going to take the photo, I realized that he was very pleasant because instead of saying to us “cheese”, he said “Le Tre Grazie”. An that moment we smiled and he took the photo. I think that it will be the most original sentence that somebody will say to me for a photo. It could be hard to grasp that a simple sentence can make you a smile; even though you are tired!
But it is only one of the many experiences of Italy. I’m sure that I will never forget this overwhelming trip because it is rewarding for all your efforts and it is an experience not to be missed!
