Robbie’s Rome
First we got on a train to Firenze SMN. Then we got another train to Roma Termini. We got to our hotel and had lunch. I had spaghetti bolonese and then we walked to the Colosseum. The gladiators used to fight in the sand with other gladiators. They had unusual clothes and good weapons. Also lions came from Africa on ships. The gladiators tried to stab the lions and kill them. We went to a 3D museum and I got dressed in gladiators clothes. That was fun! On day 2 we had breakfast at the hotel then we walked to the bus and travelled around Rome. I chose the seats upstairs at the front of the open bus! We stopped at the Vatican to get tickets for the Pope and then we saw some Swiss Guards and the Swiss Guards let my Dad in to the Vatican. The Swiss Guards have spears and guns and swords. One uniform is all blue and the other uniform has blue and yellow stripes. I liked the Sistine Chapel too. On day 3 in the morning we got on an underground train to the Vatican and then we got to our seats and we saw the Pope in his Popemobile. The Pope spoke in front of the audience. We saw some more Swiss Guards with spears. I would like to be a Swiss Guard because they have weapons and look after the Pope. The last thing we saw was the Spanish Steps and the Trevi Fountain. I threw a coin in the fountain.
