BEST MEMORIES OF
ITALY 2017
One of the
reasons for the excitement was that I had been to Italy before, but I can’t
really remember most of the places I visited because I was too little, what I
can remember though, is that I liked it a lot not only the touristic places but
also other stuff like the desserts they bake.
However, this
trip was going to be a little different because my parents weren’t going to be
with me, which wasn’t a problem because I seem to travel by myself lately! Also,
not very different to the other trips in vehicle as home we are used to travelling by car as far as we can, and it’s probably the best at the end, because even
though it’s tiring, and we all can say it is, it’s the best way to see more
quantity of places and not staying just in one, you don’t need to take a train neither
or another vehicle you’d also have to pay for. The plus of going with the
friends is another benefit as it doesn’t make the trip that boring at night in
the bus and makes it milder.
Even though
Italy seems to be a country that appears everywhere and many people that have
travelled have already been there it’s a country that surprises every time,
because you can have visited it once, twice or more times, but its magnificence
enchants you as if it was the first time. Italy is Italy, and I can say I have
a crush on that country.
One of my biggest wishes was to visit Firenze at night time. I love
to see the most spectacular buildings being lighted up by some lampposts when
everything else is dark. Another wish, more likely a whim, was to eat gelato.
Somehow, I got very scared there weren’t many places to buy it but it was
absolutely wrong as you could find a gelato shop without even looking for it.
The place to eat it had to be San Gimignano, and I forgot about it during the
entire visit there but remembered just some time before all the group had to
meet, so of course my group helped me find it and I could eat it feeling kind
of very satisfied.
Apart from those little wishes I didn’t notice that the biggest part
was about to come. The Venice day was about to happen, and I would be able to
finally visit it. I honestly didn’t imagine it would be so beautiful and
impressive, maybe I underestimated, probably I did, but anyway its magical
scenario shocked me. The water, the panoramic sights of the isles, the crystal,
the masks all over, the stretched streets, etc. It was all of it that made me
love it, fortunately I hadn’t spent too much cash till that day as it was the
one place I hadn’t visited before, so I spent most of it there, it feels so
good to have a taste of Venice home.
The trip was all about walking, bus, visiting and more walking,
which for me was awesome because we didn’t leave behind any essential thing to
visit. I really recommend this trip to all the people who may doubt doing it
because they have visited it already as it’s really like a brand-new
experience, followed by all your friends in school, so it’s like two of the
coolest things together, friends and travelling. I really couldn’t ask for
more, maybe less walking ha ha, but if I hadn’t walked that much I probably
wouldn’t have eaten the gelato or got lost in Venice’s streets which is highly
recommended as it’s very funny and you can end in just water and must return to
maybe find more water.
It’s truly the experience I will remember with more yearn when
school year ends and when I don’t see the people who accompanied me during this
trip every day, but it leaves a feeling of wanting more that brings me to think
that maybe I’ll be travelling with them to some other places after the good
experience I lived, who knows, but I’m very open to that!
