New Year plans

Hooray! *bouncebouncebounce*

I'm going to Italy for a week and a half over new year. Yay!!!!! :)


Wow. Why haven't I done this earlier? Its so cheap to get there, and yet its somewhere I've always wanted to go. True, I've been to Italy before, but that was Naples (lots of scooters) and the Amalfi coast (pretty, but rural), plus it was a school trip which gave me no freedom. Now I'll get to see the delights of Rome. Too many treasures there to name. Roman ruins all over the place. Renaissance art. Architecture to die for. And also, the yummiest Pizza, Pasta and Ice-cream anywhere. And I'm hoping to spend time in Venice too, which should be just as pretty, and has canals too! Yay!

Any comments on fab places for me to visit there will be muchly appreciated! :)

*swoon* Rome is amazing. Go to Rome. It's my most favourite place ever.

What we did on our first day there, which turned out to be good, was to look for the elephant. Or more precisely the elefantino - a sculpture by Bernini, of an elephant, with an obelisk on its back. It's pretty cool but the best bit is going through lots of other cool places on the way there. Going to the vatican is a bit of a lark because you get to see hundreds of nuns. We even saw some purple ones. There's also the bellybutton of the world (sadly inspection didn't turn up any fluff therein). And the cats. Mmmmmmm. The cats in the Torre Argentina, which is a section of ruins (ISTR it was where Julius Caesar was killed) which is set aside *just* for cats to live in. The cats everywhere else. The hundreds of crazy cat ladies.
Ooops. I think I'm getting carried away. :)
