Day 7





I heard mama say roaming around the city.  I was happy to have a leisurely walk around our next port.  Boy, was I wrong. I totally misunderstood.  She said, “Rome not Roam!”  We walked 16,000 steps covering almost 6 miles.  I was so tired my leaves were welting in the heat. 

We had a mad dash through the Vatican. It’s the one of the most important places to Catholics.  I learned that it’s one of the smallest countries in the world.  We visited the coliseum where gladiators battled and we had a traditional Italian lunch.  

The worst part of the tour was these corny actors who kept appearing.  That show needed to be mortally wounded like Julius Caesar. Just call me Brutus because it was terrible.  I cringe in my skin thinking about it.  Along the way we saw many statues and visited the famous Trevi fountain.  It was so crowded that mama couldn’t get a picture of me.

Day 15- London

Image
We rode the rail today taking the train from Paris to London. I saw Big Ben in the distance.   We even visited Kings Crossing like in Harry Potter.  Speaking of HP we visited Warner Brothers studio for the Harry Potter Experience. I saw all the props and sets for the movies. Momma even made a silly movie. Maybe she will show you if you ask about it.  I almost got eaten alive by one of those plants.  Mama had to dig me out and save me after I got swallowed up in the soil.  Once we got to our hotel, I decided to play hide and seek in the flowers.  See if you can find me!

Day 14

Today was a slow day.  We went shopping and I saw a watch that cost over $100,000.  They had many beautiful timepieces at Breuget.  I learned about watches I never heard of like Patek Philippe, and Jaeger Le Coultre.  Mama didn’t buy me anything.  Next we visited Moulin Rouge. Unfortunately the windmill burned down last month then we rode a tram too.     .  Next, we went to a beautiful church called Sacre Coeur.  While walking around Sacre Coeur,  mama saw this interesting store that takes pictures of your eye. Mama, Hayden and I did a portrait together. My eye blended into the background.  Oh well, I tried. Finally, we toured the scary catacombs. It was dark damp tunnels that run under Paris, that is full of skeletons.  I hid in mama’s jacket.
