Where in the World are the Carolin-Vandenbergs?: ITALY

ITALY

Hello everyone we are finally in Italy,

We went back to Split to catch a ferry to Ancona in Italy!!!!! We had uncomfortable beds and me and Billie thought we were going to fall off the two top bunks.

When in Ancona we dumped our luggage. (Not on the streets, in the luggage rack) we wanted to go to the cathedral, well mum and dad wanted to. But that got too hard (yes) we didn't get of at the right bus stop then when we did would have had to wait about 30 minutes and we had to catch a train in 50 minutes.

We got on the train safely and we went to VENICE it is soooooo cool but everything is sooooooo expensive.

And wait for it, we went on a gondola it was very pretty an amazing. Did you know that all first floors a abandon because they flood!!! Billie thought it was funny when the gondolier had to duck to get under the bridge. You can easily get lost down little side streets. Even whith a map. We did.

We then caught a train to milan ''the shopping city'' mum loved it but Billie and I thought it was boring we hate shopping though mum and I spent almost $300 on new water proof boots. (not each)

One night we went to get home but our train line was on strike and we had to wait 30 minutes for a taxi because they were so busy with the strike. Dad picked up a guitar!!!

We picked up another car and drove to mongedoro (in emelio romano) where we had a place where we went horse riding!

It was the best feeling to go riding again. At the place we were staying they set up archery for us. Mum was the best and me and Billie were terrible. Dad lost three arrows in the bush but we found them.
