My Travels
In 2011 I went to Italy with my family. My family and I went to Italy for my aunty's 40th birthday. My aunty didn't know we were coming and we planned to surprise her. We went to a coffee shop and waited for her to come. Every one else knew we were coming and led her to the coffee shop. She walked in and she went "Ohhhhh!" She was very happy we were there and cried of happiness.We rented a villa and it was HUGE! The villa was around 500 years old. My cousin Daniel and I went to the backyard and saw a kid there. I wanted to see the view over the wall, but the kid wouldn't let me. I just walked past him and he started to talk Italian and I couldn't understand him. My mum called us back and we helped unload the car. The car we had rented was a Postman Pat car and every time we got into it we sang Postman Pat. The stairs in the villa were very narrow and our big suitcases were only just fitting. After that Daniel and I went to explore.
We found a pool. It was FREEZING!

Over the next few days we went sight seeing. We saw the Tower of Pisa and we all got a picture of us holding it up. My mum and I got a horse and carriage ride in Florence. We saw lots of statues that were hundreds of years old. It was gross because they were made to look naked. We also went to see some caves with crystals in it, and we went to San Gimigano and saw it's towers.
The party was awsome! My sisters and I got all dressed up and my aunty looked beautiful. After lots of photos and presents Daniel and I played some games. When dinner arrived the Italian kid came up and started to annoy us. I told him nicely to leave us alone but wouldn't. Daniel nearly chased him until I stopped him. He finally left us alone and we had dinner. It was alright. Then the wine came out and every one was laughing and Daniel and I were yawning. At around ten thirty we went to bed.
On the last day we all packed up and left for the airport. I said goodbye to the Postman Pat car and we went into the airport. It was a long flight and every one was tired and mum kept saying I should sleep. I would always say I will after this movie but then never sleep, and be all cranky. When we got home Rachel realised she had lost her DS game Animal Crossing. She was very sad but got over it.
My trip to Italy was truly amazing and I really want to go back.
