The next day we headed to Pisa. For those who have been before, will know what its all about. Basically you go there, take photos of you pushing on the leaning tower and then leave! thats exactly what we did! haha not a whole lot to report here, but we got some cool pictures! and then back on the train to Rome.
By the time we arrived in Rome it was the evening and we checked into our hostel. In our Dorm we met some Canadians who were playing drinking games. We had barely even put our bags down, and we joined in. We learnt a new drinking game called to the bar and back. Basically if you want to get completly wasted in a very short period of time, then this is the game for you! it was right up our alley and Nik was first up.
Therfe is basically 7 cards layed out, and you have to get to the bar and back (start to end) by guessing if the next card will be higher or lower than the card on the deck. Sounds easy, but everytime you get it wrong you have to drink and go back to the start! On average going to the bar and back can mean you will drink about 2 drinks in the space of 5 mins. VERY Frustrating! but great fun!
The next day, we woke up and decided to explore Rome via the hop on hop off bus. Hol was so excited to see the Coluseum for the 1st time... Nik was excited cause she wants to be a gladiator. we jumped off at the Coloseum and decided to jump on a tour of both the Colesum and the Palistine. The ruins were absolutly amazing and blew us both away!
Nik had been to rome before and was the tour guide for Holly, and she wanted to point out the spanish steps and the Vatican city. after the 3rd time she had pointed to some steps and said... look there is the spanish steps, Hol thought she was BSN. She was especially BSN when we got off the bus at a sqaure that absolutly blew Hol away.... as she asked is this Vatcan city? Nik said.... No i dont think so. Hol repeated are you sure?? because this looks exactly like it, and it is amazing! hahah after a while we realised it was Vatican City and Nik felt like a bit of a window Licker!
after a day of sight seeing, we walked home past a huge Chinese resturant and at once we both looked at each and knew we were thinking the same thing. we went straight in and ordered a massive chinese feast! we were getting so sick of italian food!
