This morning when I woke up, I went down to have some breakfast. I had some cereal. Then we got packed and waited for the ship to get to the dock. Before we arrived at the port in Bari, Italy, my mom gave me some change to play in the video arcade. That was fun. I played this one game where you drive a boat and you race other boats. Our ferry docked in Bari and we got off of the ship.

My dad and I got a taxi to take us to the train station where we were going to leave our luggage until our train to Rome that afternoon. The taxi driver helped us get our luggage into the back of car. Then he added one more person to the taxi so Hannah had to sit on my mom’s lap so we would all fit. We got to the train station and left our luggage. Then we went for a walk and found an Internet Café. I played on addictinggames.com for while and then went for a walk with my dad. He bought me a case for my cell phone so that we could tell Hannah’s phone from mine more easily. Then my mom and Hannah and I went to lunch and I had my first Italian pizza. It was delicious. It was different because it had more cheese on it, and the crust was really nice. After lunch, my mom took us for our first gelato. I had a two cones since it was so good. I had vanilla. It was yummy!

After lunch we went back to the train station to catch our train called the EuroStar. It’s a very fast train and comfortable and quiet. I loved it. We arrived at the train station called Termini in Rome and got a taxi to our bed and breakfast in Frascati, just outside of Rome. Tired and ready for bed, we slept.
