A Recap of Rome and Croatia!!!!

 


     
        Hi!!!! It's Ella! Sorry we haven't posted in a while, we've been super busy in Rome and Croatia! 
       
                              August 30th
On August 30th, we left the Amalfi Coast and took a ferry and then a train to Rome. To get to Rome on our train, there was a transfer, and our train was running 10 minutes late, so we missed our connecting train. But it was fine because there was a train 10 minutes later!😋 Also, while my dad was buying tickets, we went in the havianna store, and they had all of the colors you could possibly think of and definitely not find in the US!!!! It was crazy! My mom wanted to buy a pair, but we had to run for our train! 😣😜 Anywho, once we got to Rome, we checked into our Bed and Breakfast Hotel and took a nap and went to the Trevi Fountain and dinner. The Trevi fountain was amazing!! I LOVED it! It was definitely on of my favorites! We went to dinner at this cute Roman place, and I got the spaghetti with clams!!😋😋😋 There were also these weird clowns that we also lamps on the walls!🤡😖

September 1rst
On the 1rst, we went to the Vatican! We woke up at 5:45 and went there for the early bird tour of the Sistine Chapel. While we were waiting for the tour, I threw up because I didn't eat enough.🤢But I was fine once I got some food. When we went to the Sistine Chapel, there were no people and wait! It was awesome! After that, we went to St. Peter's Ballisca where we rented auto sets and saw all of the monuments. We also we up to the dome and the stairs were sooooooooo hard! There were so many of them! But the hard part was that the were tiny! You barely had room for your foot!😱 😂After that, we had lunch at this adorable cafe where my mom and I split a cheese and meat place! Yummmmm! 👅 It also rained there for the first time in 5 months! Crazy! 

September 3rd
On the 2nd, we made our way to Croatia and rent our sailboat. On the 3rd, we sailed to Hvar and stayed there for the night. My dad, Remy, and I went into town and got milkshakes. My dad and I got chocolate, and Remy got strawberry. We went to dinner and it was delicious! Then, we walked around all of the alley ways. It's a lot safer here!😂It was super fun!

September 6th
On the 5th, we sailed from Korcula to Vis, the island where Mama Mia 2 is being filmed. We got there around 3:30 and attached to a buoy. We went swimming, and I took a shower. Then, we got dressed up for dinner and took the dingy into shore. 🚤There was a shuttle that took us to dinner. The place we went was amazing!!!!!! It was on a vineyard and you had to pre-order your food because they cooked it in this pot with carrots and potatoes for hours before you get there. The type of food was called peca. It was in this old oven. Yummmmmm! We ordered the veel and lamb but most of us liked the lamb more. Remy and I also got grape juice, and it was the best grape juice I've ever had! It was soooooo good! We also got smoked tuna, salted anchovies, and fig jelly for an appetizer and wait for it GOAT CHEESE!!!!! 🧀 🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀If you didn't know, I lovvvvve goat cheese! They had two types: the older cheese and the younger cheese. I thought that the older cheese was a lot better and had more flavor but either way goat cheese is goat cheese.😋😋😋 On our way back, I also got new sandals!👣

September 7th
On the 7th, we woke up and swam for a while. Then, we left Vis around 8:30 to sail to Milna. There were huge waves and a ton of wind. Remy and I got kind of sea sick so we had to take something for it. We also slept for most of it.😴Once we got there, we got gas and walked into town for ice cream and some groceries. 🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦

See ya soon!
Love from Croatia,
Ella
