Courtney Barratt and Claudia Germantse
Today Saturday the 10th of April we woke at 7 o’clock to have breakfast at 7:30 and split into 2 groups. One group went to the Galleria degli Uffizi to look at the Birth of Venus, a painting that was a movement of its time. The other group went to the Museo di Storia della Scienza where they saw many demonstrations that were fascinating.
Everyone had a great time and when we met at 10:30 we left together to make our way by train to Pisa. This took around an hour, but it was worth it when we were able to see the Leaning tower. After taking many photos of everyone holding it up we had time for lunch and then some shopping as we made our way back to the train. On the way back everybody had a sleep and Mr Dietz took the chance to take photos of everybody looking their best.
When we arrived back at the hotel we freshened up and walked to the Duomo for mass. We all enjoyed the experience as the cathedral was like nothing we had ever seen or participated in before. After mass we made our way to dinner at restaurant Lorenzo Dei Medici once again to enjoy another Italian meal.
We are currently sitting in a laundry doing some last minute washing so hopefully we won’t have to wash again while in Europe. Looking forward to Naples tomorrow and a good night’s sleep. p.s Missing Mum and Dad (Barratt) and Grace and I suppose Murray and Robert p.p.s Missing Mum and Dad (Germantse) and Rachel and Hannah and Nick.
