So far in Italy I have experienced lots of new thing including going to a very old town called Prato. Its hundreds of years old and the town Church is huge. We went to Florence and we went to a soccer match. The fans are so passionate they swear at each other and pull rude signs. I found it quite funny. I am playing soccer with the local Prato team. The club is famous for producing Paulo Rossi, Christian Viere and Alessandro Diamante. In Italy they are very bad drivers so when the speed limit is 40 they go about 65. The weirdest thing is that the roads are so narrow and they go so fast. When Dad and I went on a bus it was going faster than the cars and we were standing up! It was fun but scary.
Hey Tom, sounds like you guys are having a great time, although I have known your dad for 20 years and are you sure it wasn't your dad driving? ;-)
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing you, Robbie and your Mum & Dad in May in Ashes country.

Hey Tom Tom - sounds like you are having a great time!! Also sounds like Vicroads would have a field-day there with all our rules and regulations! I hear you have a very strict teacher and that she is no fun...:o)....missing you guys...keep us posted as to your goings on
ReplyDeleteHi Tom,
ReplyDeleteglad to hear about the soccer. Hope u r learning new skills from the Italianos!!!
Enjoy, Justine
Hi Tom
ReplyDeleteHope you aren't picking up too many Italian swear words. I guess their hands go flying around as well.Do learn a few of their moves so when you play for Australia you can try those on them. I can sympathise about the bus ride. Tim & I experienced one in Rio de Janeiro when two busses were racing each other and we were on one of them. Must confess though have driven fast in South Africa but have reformed my ways now I am Australian. Keep out of the traffic...
Love & Hugs
Tim & I
