Chill Day


Enjoying some LOVE at the Tiber
Today I woke up and my neck still hurt but was even worse than yesterday.  Everyone wanted to go on a big walk and explore the city but I decided to just stay home and rest my neck.  I stayed at the house for a longggg time by myself so there is nothing really to blog about. Except in the evening we went back out to the Tiber River for and I got a good drink called Love again. We just walked around the market then went home to bed.

Fun fact: The chill day was pretty awesome!!!

Sports Camp


Sports Camp
At the seaside in Ostio...with the kids from camp...AGAIN!

Beautiful sunset from Janiculum Hill

Today we woke up right away and went to the train station to the seaside where we are going to sports camp! We thought the camp would be great but let me tell you, it wasn't great. We arrived and saw a group of young kids and I thought, "Oh, there's the little group. Now where's ours?" But that was our group!?!? When we saw all these little kids, we didn't want to stay but our parents forced us! First, we did skate boarding for like an hour and a half. It was sort of fun because I was sort of good! Then we went and played basketball where I kept swishing threes and everyone thought it was sooooo good, but nah. Next we did some break dance thing and I wrecked everyone with my wormy moves! Then we left. Thank god but...nope, of course, when we were at the beach the camp had to show up there and we were once again forced to play with them. Finally it was over and they left but...nope we went with them for lunch and, of course, we had tomato and cheese sandwiches. Yummmmm :((( Finally, for real, we left to go home.  Back at the flat, my neck started to hurt so much!  My mom said I had a kink in it, but we still walked up to see the sunset from the top of the huge hill behind our flat.  I was in pain, but it was still very beautiful! Almost, ahh forget it! Then we went home and Mia and I finished Wild Child and went to bed! 

Fun Fact: before we left the camp I did "around the world" with the basketball, caught it in my hand, then swished the half court shot in front of some kids who were saying bye!

Porta Portese

Porta Portese

Romulus and Remus
Today we woke up and Dad, Mia and I went to a big outdoor flea market. It was really close so we walked. First we walked down one way for a long time and didn't see anything, and then we walked down the other way and didn't see anything. Except Mia seemed to be missing? Maybe because there was a big table with tons of stuff from Brandy Melville (a big clothing store she loves)! All for 5$!!!! So she got a shirt and we went home. We rested up and then went to the bigggggg mall. It was so big when we were walking in I was planning on which words I would use to describe the awesome mall in my blog. But I judged a book by its cover and in the end the words will be: "the mall was a disgusting, hell on earth, piece of junk, give anyone a headache, wouldn't buy the mall for 10$, needs to git gud and go home, PIECE OF CRAP MALL!" It had 4 floors and a gazillion stores and each one was junk...nothing good! Mia got one shirt and that was it. End of story. Then we took forever to get a taxi but we finally got one thanks to me and Mia :] After we got home, Mia and I went and got some groceries from a grocery store. On our way home we gave money to a homeless lady and she blew kisses at us and did blessing signs to us! She is an all time fave! Then me and Mia went home, ate some CHOCOLATE, then watched Wild Child! Half way through the movie, Mia forced me to go to bed because mom and dad were out for dinner. GOOD DAY BUT ONCE AGAIN SORT OF HELL:]]]]

Fun fact:  The graffiti in Rome is decent, but maybe not as good as the stuff in Barcelona.

The Tiber River

Piazza Navona

I'm a model...you know what I mean?

Best gelato in Rome!
Today we woke up, had breakfast and went out to the famous Piazza Navona! It is in the top 10 things to do in Rome, so it would have to be pretty awesome, which it was! First we looked at the fountains for a bit and then we sat down for a drink. I got like a peach lemonade which was really good. Then after the piazza we walked around for a bit and went shopping. We went into some clothes stores and then we got gelato! I got straciatella, like usual, and it was top three of the trip and number one in Rome. Number one in Rome...so farrrrrrr!!! In one of the stores for a long time I stood still in the window and pretended to be a mannequin! After we came home for a little rest and I finished the whole Star Wars sega! Soooo goood!  After dinner we went for a walk along the River Tiber, where there is a huge market all along the river. We went down and first we looked at the art, then some stores.  Mia and I looked in a store which sold prints and pictures of so many different things. I saw a perfect print of LOST (the TV series) and I freaked out! And planned on getting it later! Then me and Mia caught up with mom and dad and I did a BB gun shooting game where u have 15 bullets and shoot down as many cans as you can…. Blah blah you get the point. And I hit 9 which was good says the owner. Then we continued on our way and did a soccer challenge, but it was rigged so...moving on.  Finally, we went and sat up on this ledge with bean bag chairs and we had some French fries and I had Love and Mia had some Virgin Sex On The Beach. Both drinks with no alcohol:)))) Then we walked down a bit farther and I got my LOST print and we saw a candy booth and I ended up with a bag of candy and I ate it all. Then we walked home and went to bedJ 

Fun Fact: There were more people outside in the middle of the night then there was in the day!

Vatican City and the Sistine Chapel


Saint Peter's Basilica


Inside the Vatican Museum

With Mimi in the park
The 74 year old DJ
 Today we woke up really early at around 8:00 so that we could see the huge Saint Peter's Basilica! It is considered one of the biggest and best churches in the world! One reason it's so popular is because it's where the Pope lives! We explored through the church for a bit but then, since we are so lucky, Mia got a migraine. So we looked around for a bit longer in this beautiful church and then went and got Mia some water. After she was feeling better and replenished, we went inside the Vatican museum and Sistine Chapel. It's a big, crazy building with amazing art! There was such a long walk to get there to the Sistine Chapel, but it was good because it was through all these hallways and different rooms with famous paintings and sculptures of men with no penises!? In the hallway there were so many people and everyone was walking so slow, so I did some of my amazing dangling parkour moves and squished through everyone for about an hour all the way to the end. Finally we got the Sistine Chapel and it was so beautiful, almost more beautiful than me. Yes, I just said that. You know what? I've had enough of this more than me. I'm saying right now I will not use that line ever again for the rest of my blog! UGHHHH! So we got there and saw the beautifulness right away with Michelangelo's paintings all over the wall and the part where Adam is touching God painted on the roof! It was really awesome. We only stayed in for a bit and then took a taxi home. When we got home I went on my Ipad, watched some Star Wars, and had some dinner.

That night we went out to see a crazy 74 year old DJ who does disco music which I was really excited about! After the long taxi ride there, we finally arrived! BUTTTTT...we were three hours early. So first we walked for a long time and it was hell so I got mad and started punching all the leaves I passed and then got poison ivy on my hand!!!  We put some stuff on my hand and headed back to the area with the stage with around two hours left, There was a little workout area by the stage so I did some working out with these older Italian guys who were soo strong! After about half an hour of working out we went onto the little island where the performance was and I got a Pepsi. Finally we got into the main area were the 74 year old was playing and we managed to snag a chair and some fries! First there was some intro guy doing really crappy dubstep and he lost the crowd! And then the 74 year old came on and he was nothing like I expected! I thought he was just going to play classic disco songs on a playlist and everyone would dance but he actually played remixes of total dubstep on some old disco songs and he just played new songs and we recognized the remixes and none were by him! So I was really upset but I got off my sadness and danced with Mia for a bit but then everyone was smoking and I could feel my lungs crumbling so we took a taxi home and went to bed! Today was sort of hell but I had fun too!

Fun Fact: There were more people at this 74 year old DJ than there were at Nicki Minaj!?!? Probably because Nicki tickets cost more and it was in Milan which is like five times smaller than Rome!

Our Neighbourhood

I took this beauty shot on our walk!
This morning we we woke up and went exploring in our neighbourhood. Honestly, we just walked around for a long time! We stopped at a church, we stopped in some stores, and we went for lunch at a café. This café was sooooo crappy. We asked for only the French toast instead of the full meal and they said, "Yeah we understand.” But obviously they didn’t because they brought a full meal of scrambled eggs, French toast and bacon!?!?!??! It was outrageous! And the French toast was nastyyyyy!!!! After we went back to the room and chilled, had dinner, and then we were going to go see the sunset from a square up the hill a bit buttttttt it started to rain so Mia and I just went and played in the rain for a bit and then came back inside and I played cards with dad and then I watched some more Star Wars before going to bed!

Fun fact: I got some new sunglasses that are swaggy.

Roma!!!

Cooling down at the Spanish Steps

Trevi Fountain?!?

Whip it, Pantheon...
Today we woke up and went to explore the streets of Rome! I was still feeling tired and kind of sick so we didn’t plan on going out for long but we did. First we took a bus to the Piazza Venezia and went to some big church which had around 120 steps leading to the top and I kept running up and down them! Next we took a taxi to the Spanish steps. In the taxi I was feeling really sick so we planned to go home but we didn’t. I don’t know why. The Spanish Steps are famous for? Who knows...but there was a cool fountain at the bottom of the steps where you can fill your water and soak your head, which I did until I was wet from head to toe! After exploring the Spanish Steps we went to get gelato and I got Straccietella. YUMMMM! Then we saw the amazing Trevi Fountain but it was under construction so it looked very plain and boring but at lease we saw it! Next we went into the big Pantheon where there is a hole in the top and the sun shines through and shows what time it is. It was really cool! After we took a taxi home and I watched more Star Wars!  After Star Wars, we all went out to try to watch the Grand Budapest Hotel outside in a square but it was in Italian so we left to a restaurant. At the restauraunt I got a margherita pizza and a limonada soda. The exploring day was awesome but too bad my stomach hurt for most of it! 

Fun fact: Some crazy guy in 2007 drove his truck down the Spanish Steps, chipping most of them! Fortunately, no one was hurt and the guy got arrested!

Arrivederci Toscana!

We had so much fun with these kids!!!

With Stefano, who is like a big kid too

Our flat :)
This morning we woke up and went straight to the pool for a final swim! Unfortunately, none of the kids were there so Mia and I swam by ourselves for a bit. After swimming we gathered all the kids and played a few last games of dodgeball! Right before we left we took a picture with all the kids and then one with Stefano. The car ride to the train station was about an hour and the whole time I listened to The Next Episode by Dr Dre Feat. Snoop Dogg on repeat! I only listened to one other song once the whole car ride and it was also featuring Snoop Dogg:) Then we got on an hour and 45 minute train and the whole time I listened to...once again...The Next Episode on repeat and read my book W.A.R.P! When we got to Rome we took a taxi to our place and got settled. Immediately we were amazed at how awesome our flat is! There is a kid's bedroom with one side that was for a girl and one for a boy! The girl's stuff is for little girls but there was about 50 different kid's movies and on the boy's side there's a Playstation 4 with GTAV and Fifa 15! There were also soccer balls, a magic set, and about a dozen crazy nerf guns! In the house there are two amazing showers, a really nice kitchen, a usable mac computer, a room with 75 more movies, a piano, a big tv, and just every awesome thing ever! Except there wasn’t a big sculpture of me so not quite every awesome thing!:)()()() After exploring the house for a bit, I started watching Star Wars and decided I would watch the while saga in the time I'm in Rome! I was feeling tired so the family went out and left me in the flat to watch Star Wars until they got back! When they got back we just chilled and then went to bed! First day in Rome was super duper quper wuper euper ruper tuper yuper uuper iuper ouper puper auper fuper guper huper juper kuper luper zuper xuper cuper vuper buper nuper muper awesome!  

Fun Fact:  It's weird. Every time I try to read in a car, I get carsick. But for some reason, I'm able to read on trains?!?

Terme di Saturnia

Looking down on the amazing hot springs

Don't panic! I'm still alive!!!

Waterfall with Mia
This morning we woke up had breakfast and went to the pool to play for a bit! At the pool the boy from Holland named Vince was there swimming with his mom and dad. We started playing piggy in the middle, which I was so bad at because I'm so short and everyone was like a head (or 2 or 3) taller than me! So we decided to play Colours! Colours is a game where someone stands on the end of the diving board and then everyone gets a colour and the person calls out random colours and if they say your colour then you have to swim! If they hear you they turn around and try to tag you! If they tag you you're it! We played for a bit and then our family left for the hot springs. The drive was long and windy and I just listened to music the whole time...like usual! When we got there we were amazed at how beautiful the natural hot springs are and how good they felt! After about two hours at the hot springs we left home. On the way we made a pit stop at a winery and we just walked in and asked for a tasting but it was just the massive production room and we had to go alllllllll theeeee wayyyyyyyy upppppp to the top of the mountain to a big castle to taste wine! At the castle there were breadsticks you could eat so me and Mia kept eating them until mom and dad got mad and we had to go stealth mode to grab more! Before we left I saw some normal bread and grabbed a piece and the girl beside them said something like, "Sure take one!" And I said "Yeah it's good stuff" but...it turns out they actually paid for that bread and I thought they were free like the bread sticks! Oops! When we got back we went swimming and played UNO with Andrea, Francisco, Mia, Vince, Davide, and Alberto (some Italian kid staying there)! Alberto didn't get there until we were half way through the game so we restarted and, of course, Alberto won! After we played dodge ball with the kids from Poland so there were 10 kids and everyone was being crazy. It was really fun! Last full day at the Corte del Cavalierino was so much fun!

Fun fact: The hot springs were not too hot. They were more like warm springs!!!

Tuesday 21 July 2015

Repeat!

Our fave!  Playing cards with Andreas and Francisco!
Remember yesterday where all I did was play? Yeah same thing today! I played dodge ball, cards, futbol, went swimming, chilled in the house, and beat everyone in uno! Just the usual:) So this was a very short blog! 
Fun Fact: Someone came from Holland and there were also the people from Polland so it was so confusing because it was Polland? Or Holland?

A Full Day of Playing at the Villa

Inside the villa

Playing cards with Francisco and Andreas

Swimming with Francisco

Our backyard
This morning we woke up to a full day of playing with the all the kids here at the villa! First, Mia and I went to the pool for about half an hour by ourselves and then Skyler and Chloe, the two girls we met yesterday from America, came to the pool and we played cards for along time. First we played Go Fish and Chloe won in the first 20 seconds! Then we played a game called BS where you put the cards down in order and u try to get rid of your cards and if you think someone didn't put the right card down u call BS and they have to take the whole pile but if they did put the right one down, then u have to take the rest of the pile.  Anyway, Mia won :)Then we played Slap Jack where everyone puts down a card and when there is a jack you have to slap it. Whoever slaps it first gets all the cards and first person to get all the cards wins! This time I was the winner!  Then Skyler and Chloe left for good...but I guess not because they were back in 10 minutes saying they had a flat tire!!! So we played with them for a bit longer then they left for real.  Francisco, the 11 year old, came along being his crazy self! And his 13 year old brother, Andrea, came out to play too. First we just talked and then we started making a horror movie! The plot was there was a monster lurking around and was killing people. I was the monster! So Andrea was like, "I have the money!" And Mia said, "Give it to me" and then I hid behind the side of the pool and stuck my hand up and grabbed Mia and pulled her in! Then I killed Francisco and then Andrea killed me! The end. After the movie, we played Uno and of course...I didn't win, Mia did:(( Then we rested for a bit and I went and got Francisco to go swimming! We swam for about 2 hours and then I took a shower! Then we played dodge ball?! I'm really good at dodge ball so I was sniping kids and dodging but my team didn't win. Finally it was time for dinner! For dinner mom made an amazing feast in the kitchen in our house! There was fish, potatoes, salad, and green beans! So many great things! After dinner we chilled for a bit longer and then these people from Poland arrived here and me and Francisco played soccer and the youngest Polander came and played soccer with us! His name was Kuba and he was really funny! When Kuba left we kept playing soccer (futbol) with all of the kids, and we played World Cup and of course I won most of the times because I'm Messi quality! After three hours of World Cup it was about midnight so we went in and went to bed! First full day in the Tuscany was great!

Fun fact: I did one hundred dives off the diving board today.

Our villa in Tuscany

Me with the REAL David

Today we woke up and went to the Michelangelo museum! Finally!  The museum was filled with amazing paintings and statues! And the David statue itself! The real deal! No clothes on for David the statue! Even better! We explored the museum for a bit then went home to pack. After packing we left for the train station. We took a train for about an hour and a half and then got to our destination!!! Butttttt we missed the time of the car rental so we had to wait for two hours! While we were waiting I got food and Mia had a migraine so it was sort of boring but the food was good! Dad fixed the computer at an Apple Store while we were waiting. Finally dad got the car and we drove to our place! The place is so awesome!! We have our own little house! And a pool! And a gym! And a hot tub! And there are tons of kids!!! It's so fun! First we went swimming and met two girls who are staying here but leaving tomorrow. They are 12 and 16 so Mia played with them.  Also, there were three boys, two who live here and one guest so I played soccer them and with one of the owners who is so crazy! He just plays around all day and acts like he's a kid! I went easy on everyone in soccer but still rekt but it was fun:) The girls came to play soccer too, and we played World Cup and of course I won:)) Then we just hung out and played games until it was dinner time:) We went up the mountain to the top of Montepulciano for dinner and saw the sunset. The whole city looks like it's made of gold! For dinner I got pizza again!!:( We came home after dinner and no one was up, so we went to bed! The day was sooooo muchhhhh funnnnnnnnn!!

Fun fact: The look in David's eyes is supposed to be both fear and determination. It is said that it is the exact second he decides to slay Goliath!

Trying to see David

Ordering up a delicious cheese stick

Not the real David
Not the real David
This morning I woke up and chilled while Mia and dad went to get tickets for the Michelangelo museum! But it turns out you need to actually see everyone going to see if they are underage...which is so dumb!!! So Dad made me get up and go down. Dad disappeared for a bit so me and Mia got croissants and smoothies from a cafe . My smoothie was really good but Mia's looked and tasted weird?? Probably because they had never made a mango smoothie before and just put the whole mango in the blender but maybe something else???? After dad came back and said he got in a fight with the ticket lady and he won so we got the tickets!:) Then we went and got coffee for mom and brought it up for her. We rested for a bit in our flat and planned out the day. First we went to a big food market! The food market was really crazy full of all this FOOD! Who would have thought?? So the market was big and I loved it so much because it had the classic cheese sticks from Artisan Bread Bakery and those things are heaven. I was so happy because I got one and it tastes just like the ones in Kelowna!!:)))))))))))) After the market we went home and chilled for a bit then went to the big Duomo outside our house! The outside of the Duomo is very, very beautiful but the inside was a bummer:(! There was nothing special to it! After we walked to another church but we were hot and dying so we didn't go in. Then we went to a piazza! The piazza was filled with statues and Michelangelo remakes. It was crazy. Then we went home and rested for a bit, then left to see the sunset from a huge garden at the top of the mountain:) There was a bride and groom up there getting their photos taken! It was very cool. After the sun went down, we went for dinner at a crazy outside place! I just had pizza. Like usual! At the restaurant there were these kids and one was really crazy and he would run through everyone's tables and everything!:))) After dinner we went home and went to bed! Today was really great!1!1!1!1!1!

Fun fact:  There was an Eataly in the market, just like the one we went to in New York City with Auntie Aimee, Uncle Jeff, and Lenox.  But we didn't go in this one!

The Leaning Tower of PISA

Classic shot holding up the Leaning Tower of Pisa!

We're a little scared to go in...what if it tips over!?!?
The Duomo in Florence

This morning we woke up had breakfast, which was classic scrambled eggs, and headed straight to the train station. The first train was only 10 minutes long and we just had to stand in the bottom area and we were really crammed! Then we waited for 20 minutes and took an hour and a half train and I just listened to music the whole time:) When we got to the train station we stored our luggage and waited for a bus to take us to the leaning tower of Pisa! When we got there we were instantly surprised at how flipping tilted it is!!!!!!!!!! First we went into the big church which was very beautiful. Then we went into the tower. At first there was an introduction and the whole time we felt tilted! Then we got to go to the top. We had to walk up around 300 stairs. At the top it felt so leany. It kind of made my stomach hurt! After we went to bottom and I made a whip video and we took the bus back. We grabbed our luggage and then got on the next train. The whole train ride I just listened to music for the whole time! And the first hour I just listened to the Mii plaza theme song on the wii on repeat:))) Who knows why! When we got to Florence we walked to our flat and got settled in. We were all very tired so we rested for a bit and then went out to see the famous bridges. They were very beautiful and we got to... Oh wait, I forgot my classic line! The bridges were almost more beautiful than me! Yes, I just said that!!!!!!:)))))))) Okay, so we got to see the sunset from the bridge, which was amazing! After we went for dinner at a place recommended to us by the owner of our flat. At the restaurant I just ate off the food my family got. But to drink I got Fanta! And like usually Mimi asked for a drink!! Classic Mimi:'(!!!!:))) At dinner this crazy kid kept shooting a toy bow and whenever it shot he would dance and make funny noises and he kept laughing at us and dancing for us! I would say he is 4 or 5 years old. He reminded me of my cousin, Riley ;) After dinner this photo shoot was set up in the piazza for an expedition so me and Mimi did it.  Eventually mom and dad came and we got a family shot! I think I was the most attractive in the picture, of course:) On the walk home we stopped at a carousel. And of course we saw the same crazy kid there...still shooting his bow and dancing!!!!!:)))) Also we stopped for gelato and went across the Ponte Vecchio, an even more famous bridge than the first one! When we got home we just chilled and then went to bed! End statement: Florence is very beautiful! Almost more..... Good bye!

Fun fact: All your extra bags and things in your pocket had to be stored away in a room when u went in the tower of Pisa to take away extra weight so there is less chance of it tipping?¿!

Cliff Jumping in the Cinque Terre

This is where the magic happens
We jumped from the top of this rock (on the backside)


Fun fact: The rock we jumped off is probably the biggest I've every jumped off in my life!This day was very chill:) We woke up went down for breakfast and I got scrambled eggs. After breakfast we went and CHILLED in our room for a while, then me and Mia went swimming and saw tons of jellyfish so I was very scared! I was jumping off this little cliff in preparation for the huge cliff I'm going to jump off later!! After a while Mom and dad met us and Mia and dad left to a private beach and me and mom stayed at the jellyfish infested water. When Mia and dad got back we went into the room and CHILLED for a looooooooonggggggggggg time and then we went to jump off the rock! I started on a bit smaller one and then did the big one! It was so crazy!!!! I wasn't scared or nervous or anything. I just jumped and it was so fun but I got water up my nose:((((( After I went straight to the room by myself while Mia, dad and mom went for a walk and I took a shower and started watching the movie Over The Hedge...I don't know why:) Halfway through the rest of the family got back and wifi stopped working so I didn't finish my movie but we just CHILLED for a long time again and I made a video. We went for dinner at a restaurant two doors down from our hotel! At the restaurant I got spaghetti and it was sooooooo good! After I went up and played with the kids in the main square for a long time. We played hide and seek and all these fun games and I would say " you're very sexy" and they would all laugh so hard because I guess they understood?:) They would laugh so so hard! After we went home and went to bed. Sometimes a chill day is fun and it sure was today!

Parkour is life!

Corniglia. Second pit stop.

Somewhere on the hike...
Looking back on the terraced vineyards

This morning we woke up at 8:00 ish and then went down to the lobby to get breakfast. For breakfast I had a croissant and some fruit! After we went up to the room to get ready for our hike! Me and mom left before Mimi and dad and it turned out the hike we were going to take was closed down due to a mud slide in 2011!?! :( So we asked for help and it turns out we have to take a huge two hour hike just to reach the first village! So we start hiking up this huge hill used for farming and stuff and it was straight up and for a while we just hiked up stairs! I wasn't tired at all though! After walking for about an hour we arrived to a tiny village on top of the mountain where we had a little pit stop and grabbed some water before going back on the hike! Finally after two hours of hiking we made it to the first village called Corniglia :) In the village we got pizza and I got classic Fanta and of course Mimi asked for a sip. Ahh! There were so many crazy people there we had to get out of the village so we left...but it wasn't the right way and mum and dad were going funk because we couldn't find the way! Finally we did and we hiked for half an hour until we got to a pink building at the top of the mountain for a pit stop! I got a slushie drink and then we were on our way! I was parkouring down the path and jumping rock-to-rock and I tripped on one and flew in the air and landed on my back. Thankfully, I did a parkour roll and got back on my feet before I fell off a huge cliff and died because parkour is life! My back was all scratched because I didn't have a shirt on and my wrist hurt like crap but I was alright. I just got up and went on with parkouring :) Parkour all day, every day!! When we got to the different village called Vernazza, we went swimming and the salt water stung my back soooo much! But I didn't care. After swimming me and Mia went and got kinder surprise flavoured ice cream! Then we went to this place and asked for plain French fries but this guy was so crazy he gave us French fry potato balls and zucchini French fry things? He was so crazy, singing and making weird noses! So me and Mia just ate the French fries and potato balls because they were the best and gave the zucchini things to mom and dad. Then we booked it to a pizzeria and got a big cheese pizza and ate almost all of it! When we went back, I saw a little jellyfish in the water and freaked out because jelly fishes are one of my only fears :(( Anyways I was screaming, jelly fish jelly fish! And these local kids went, jelly fish? And I showed them where it was and they caught it in a net and they put it on the concrete and left it? We didn't get to see what happened because we had to take our ferry back to Manarola where we are staying! And it only took 15 minutes! So three and a half hours there and only fifteen minutes back!? It was dumb. When we got back I chilled in the house while mom and dad went out for dinner. Then Mia and I went out and played with the same kids I played with yesterday for about an hour. The day was very fun! 


Fun fact: the hill we hiked up was made hundreds of years ago to make crops and wine.

Cinque Terre

View from our window!!!

Jumping off the small cliff (that my mom said was ok...but wait til tomorrow!!!)
Photo creds to Raschel
This morning me and Mia went down to get some spremuta d'aranchito, freshly squeezed orange juice! YUM! Then we packed yp and headed to the train station. The whole time we were walking there, Mia kept saying I wasn't strong if I couldn't take her luggage. Obviously she was trying to make me carry her stuff which is way heavier than mine! But since I'm such a Brutus I took hers and she said I bet u can't take my suitcase all the way to the train station and I said bet u I can. So anyways what I didn't know was MIA had seen the big flight of around 50 stairs that you had to go up to get to the train station :( So Mia took my easy bag on her back and she was like Ooooh I got you but I said no way and picked up the suitcase and lugged it up with brute force because I'm the strongest person. I'm so strong I'm almost stronger than me! Wait? Nvm:) Anyways I got up and it was a beauty moment. When we got onto the train we just did trivia for gummies until we got back to Milan. Then we took another train for an hour and a half and I just listened to music the whole time! Then we arrived to some random place and got onto another train for an hour and a half and, of course, I just listened to music! When we arrived there was a huge line to get off the train so we had to push and shove, which was no problem for me because I can just use my beastly brute force against the crowd so I was all g! To make up for Mia being a dingbat I saw some more stairs and Mia thought it was just a straight walk which would be easy for the suitcase so I told her to take the suitcase and I'll keep the backpack. She had to go down like 20 stairs and up 20 stairs in a crowded, crowded area! Ha ha! So we got to our room and it was so beautiful and there was such an amazing view from our room. It was so pretty. Right away we went swimming and crazy people were jumping off this cliff and I wanted to too, but mom said NOOOO and so we're going to do it tomorrow :-) After swimming we got some food and went up to the room. Then we went for dinner and I got shrimps and fries. After dinner me and Mia did a photoshoot under the sunset and I turned into Raschel. Raschel is a famous photographer who does all Mia's photo shoots and has more than half of the photo creds on her IG! So we got some beauty photos:) After we went into the room and chilled and dad said that some kids were playing in a square so I went and played with them.  The kids were so crazy, throwing balls at each other and screaming! So me and this little dude played soccer and these dumb girls kept throwing our ball off the balcony so we were funkerz! We just did this for about an hour and then before I had to go and the ball been thrown around 50 times I wanted pay back.  I grabbed their ball, ran down the balcony and ran down the street into a walk way for a train station and kicked the ball down as far as I could and booked it!!:):):):)))))))) Then I went home and went to bed! First day in Cinque Terre was a bruiser :)

Fun Fact: Instead of going to therapy, it is recommended that you just come visit the Cinque Terre.

Cruising Como

This girl wanted to party!
Running from Chewbaca

Lizard paparazzi
Boating in to Bellagio
Blame it on the Bossanova

This morning we woke up and saw a huge market in our square! After chilling in our room for a bit me and Mia went down and got some freshly squeezed orange juice and then explored the market. At the market we got some presents and such. After we walked to the water and took a big boat to different part of Lake Como! On the boat there was this little girl who didn't speak English and kept staring at me and soon we were playing a high five game with Mia!? And she was holding my hand and copying what I did. It was weird but fun at the same time!!! Also on the boat we were told that were going to see where they filmed some of Star Wars II, Attack of the Clones! When we got to the place we had to walk 1km up a hill to the Star Wars place. When we got there, we were surprised with the beautifulness. In fact it was almost more beautiful then me! Yes I just said that! I did some videos at the Star Wars place and then I was informed that a part of 007 Casino Royal was filmed there too! How crazy! But I don't blame the filmers...it is very beautiful:) Almost more than..... you know what I'm gonna say. After Star Wars and Casino Royal, we took a boat instead of walking back to the other dock. While waiting for our boat I tried to get pictures of geckos. Our boat got to the ferry terminal and we got on and it was so pretty. Allllllmossstttt as pretty as.... never mind! Anyways very pretty. So we get there and go to a place for dinner. I get classic grilled cheese and classic Fanta. I think you know what comes next. SPEAKING OF CLASSIC! MIA GOT HER OWN FANTA AND STILL ASKED ME FOR A SIP!!!! CLASSIC MIMI! After dinner mum and dad chilled for a bit and looked at the lake while Mia and I went and got gelato and looked in a RIP OFF RALPH store (where everything was 50$ or more even if it was smaller then my thumb!) So RIP OFF! I was FUNKERZ FRED because it was so much mula$ After we took our boat home. The boat was top quality boys 10/10 all day savagely air conditioned royalty quality$ in the good boat that was almost gooder then... Oh wait.. That's not a word:((( and you know what I mean so. Anyyyyywayyyyysssss! When we got home we rested for a long time and me and mom finished Gladiator when Mia and dad went out to explore! Turned out there was karaoke going on in a square, so of course me and mom had to go find Mia and dad there! When we got to it Mia and dad had both already gone so we were upset but not actually! All these people went and we didn't get to go before it ended:( so sad! Haha anyway halfway through this random grandma around 80 started slow dancing with Mia and mostly me! It was so funny! Almost funnier than.. Oh wait! nothing is almost more funnier then me. That's just ridiculous! Almost more ridicolous than me saying all the almost more than me things!  So anyways, this grandma was crazy and she was speaking Italian to us even tho we told her non parlo Italiano but she didn't care:) After we walked home and went to bed. The day was probably my favorite one after Nicki Minaj! Yes, it was a very fun day! Almost more fun than me! Yes...I just said that!  

Fun Fact:  Despite our best stalking efforts, we did not find George Clooney, or his villa.

Lake Como

Statue of the creator of the battery in Piazza Volta
Heading up the funicular to see the view of Lake Como
Our apartment is in the yellow building on the right
This morning I was woken up at around 7:30 to go to Lake Como! First we went straight to a train. The train ride was around an hour and I just listened to music the whole time! After the train ride we had to walk around a kilometer with all our luggage to our apartment. When we got to the apartment we had no clue what to do because we are such BEAUTS:)! We phoned our person who told us where to stay and she didn't answer! Ten minutes after her husband phoned and said he would be there in half an hour! By the time he was there it was two hours later than we thought it would be. Dad was starting to go FUNKERS! Actually, not just dad, we all were! When we got to our room, we put our stuff down and went out to explore. We went for lunch at some place on the street and me and Mia got some pasta with tomatoes and fish. It was pretty good. Then we went up a huge funicular train to the top of a giant mountain! At the top we could see all of Lake Como and it was the most beautiful thing ever! I loved it so much! At the top I got some whipping and nae nae clips for my Instagram account. Then we went down and explored the town a bit before went inside for a rest. After we went out to see the sunset on the water but we were too late to see it set but there was still a glaze so we were happy:) After the sunset we went for pizza and I got fanta and, of course like every drink every day, Mia asked for a sip! I'm getting kind of annoyed now!:((((( Then we went home and watched the first half hour of Gladiator and went to bed! Lake Como: first day=good day! :)

Fun Fact: The guy who invented batteries is from here!
