Venice, Italy part 1 - July 17th

Today we went to Venice, but it didn't go smoothly. 

  First, when we got up we had to pack our bags night because we were staying in venice for one night. We had to pack, eat, and get to the bus stop before 10:25. We got to the bus on time, but the bus did not. It got to the bus stop at 10:44. We were finally on our way to the train station. 

Then, when we were about 4 stops away a woman got on with a double stroller  and the bus driver said that she could not get on the bus with the big stroller. The woman said that she would not get off and the bus driver would not go until she got off. A man that could speak english told us what was happening. Then we decided to get off and the same man told us that we could get on the M bus to get to the station.

Next, we finally got to the station. My dad all ready had the ticket so we were ready to go, but Chayton said that he was not feeling good so we went to the bathroom. Then we walked to platform 2 to get on to our train. After a few minutes my mom sees that Chayton did not have his backpack. We all looked around, but did not see it. Then we all ran to the place were we were standing to wait for Chayton when he went to the bathroom. We found it right where we left it. 

After that we had to run so we could get on the train. We made, but we got on the wrong train. We didn't know until we got to the last stop that we though was Venice. We then had to wait for around 45 minutes. We got to stay in a cafa. I got to have a drink,  but that was all. 

Finally, we got on the right train to Venice. We got to Venice around 3:00.  When we got there we got ice cream.  We wanted to get there earlier, but it didn't work out that way. 
Read part 2 to hear what we did in Venice. 

Venice, Italy part 2- July 17th

When we got to Venice we went to our boat tour. On the boat tour we got to see so many small canals. We got to see a glimpse of the other islands. It was a bumpy ride , but worth it.  It was also very fun. Then we had to find a place to eat. The first pizza place that we went we ended up leaving because of the poor service.  The next place we went to was very good. The pizza was homemade and was made very fast. We then had to find our hotel. Our  hotel is called Boscolo it is a five star hotel. It was great. 

Then later we went on a night walk. We had a great time and it very was beautiful. My mom got two rings and a necklaces made of glass from the glass company in  Marano, Italy. They are very beautiful. Then we went back to the hotel. 
 
The next day, we took a boat to the Marano glass company. They had very pretty glass works. Then we went to a store where they had things from the glass company. I got a blue glass rose ring. We then went to go to a big art exhibit. On the way Nazeriah  got me and Chayton a glass necklace that were one euro each. She also got a necklace and two bracelets for her self. Then we made it to a Thailand art exhibit. We got to make a brick to put in with the art exhibit.  Then we got on the train to go home.  We all had a great 2 days in Venice.

Today we went to Rome. We had to get up early like when we went to Venice. When we got to the bus stop the bus came on time. Then we got to the train station. We had to wait for the train for a few minutes. On the train we got to read and relax. 

Then when we got to Rome we went strait to the hop on hop off bus. We got to see lot of old buildings. When the tour was over we got off at stop 8 and checked in at our hotel and we relaxed too. Then we got back on the hop on hop off bus and got off at the coliseum and got ice cream. It was sooo good. Then we went on a walk close to the coliseum,but we keep ending up at dead ends, but we got to see so many things that were amazing.  Then we went to the hop on hop off bus stop. We had to wait for 30 min at least. Then when the bus did come it was full so we had to wait for the next bus. When we got on the next bus we waited until we got to stop 7 where a big famous fountain is that is called Fontana di Trevi. We first went to dinner. It was so good. Then we got to the fountain. It was amazing. Finally we got to are hotel.

It is very hard to explain(so at the end there are lots of good pics).We were all tired after the tour was over. When the tour was done we went to lunch. We went to a small little cafe I got a chicken and mozzarella sandwich. It was so good. After lunch we went back to the train station. Here are some pics.

Austria

Three days ago we made it to our house in Austria. It was a long tight ride, but we finally made it. 

We were all tired when we got to our house, but we have an amazing view of the mountains. We had dinner and then we all went to bed. 

Then the next day we were slugs and did not go anywhere, but we played outside and on our iPads. 

Yesterday we had to do school, but after dinner we got to go to a water park for free ( The card is to do some free activities). It had a big water slide. Nazeriah and I went down together. It was so much fun. I did the slide like a thousand times. We all had a really good time. 

Here is a pic of the mountain view. 

Bacharach

 This blog post is a little late, but in Bacharach we had a great time. We had pizza on Fridays from an amazing pizza place and then we would have great ice cream in a ice cream store. 

Every day was fun, we went to lots of castles and would hike a ton. My favorite thing in Bacharach was when we went to a pool that had two great water slides. The place we went to was called Rhinewette. It was amazing. I went on the slide so many times. My voice was so tired because I was screaming on the slides! 

The next day we went to see some of our relatives in Germany. Their names are Peter and Horst. They live in Wiesbaden. I got to see some great things. I got to see the worlds biggest cuckoo clock. I got to hear it go cuckoo at 12:00. I only got to see the people dancing on the top not the bird come out. Then at the end of the day we got to stay for dinner at Horst and Peters. Peter made Chinese food for dinner. It was so good.
