Tasha’s comments on Pompeii and other things.

In Pompeii there are a lot of dogs, we found one and it looked like it was dieing. Becca wanted to give it a blanket and some food, but Mum said no you are not allowed to do that.




Me and Becca found this poetry place and you do plays in the Roman times. We thought it was a gladiator place and we started fighting. Becca bit me hard and it hurt. I had some horrible tomato in my sandwich, I ate it thinking it was phoney baloney in my sandwich, but it was disgusting.





It was raining really hard so we stopped in a café but it started raining even harder. Becca started hitting her head on my elbow thinking she was Bobey from Harry Potter.
The campsite in Rome was brilliant because it had little toddler toilets that were really cute.
Now we are at a camp site and it is kind of weird because you have to get keys to go to the toilet. And it is only a five minute walk down to the old town where all the ruins are that we recently discovered because they were covered in ash that turned to rock.
To get the figures of the people they fill the rock with plaster and then knock off the rock and you get the shape of the person.


We had sweet corn fritters for dinner last night.
We went to see Rome. Rome was pretty. I liked the Coliseum best. It was fun and exciting and I had never been there before. I think it is a great place to visit if you are on holiday in Rome. It was 3.50 for a guided tour inside the coliseum but outside they were trying to sell it for 10 euros and we would have had to pay 22 euros each. Luckily we didn’t get the tour guide outside.
The ice creams were very good in Rome but they were a bit expensive and just the other day we had an ice cream in Pompeii and that was a good big ice cream and it was 2 euros but we still got one.
The dogs are quite frightening, they don’t make any noise but they follow you and scare me.
Yo ho, yo ho, a pirates life for me.
