My first day in Rome by Bea

5th December 2009 by Helena 6 Comments  

I love it here it’s great .
Today we are arriving in rome by train it’ gonna take us an hour to get there so wev’e arrived and we went to the taxi station and got a taxi from our appartement and we thought that it would be wonderful but when we get there daddy doesn’t like it that much.
I think in my mind I hate it it’s horrible we have to sleep here ….But now I got used to it .it’s a little bit big and it’s got a kitchen and we sleep there in the kitchen on a bed sofa it folds into a bed .Mummy and daddy’s room is a proper room with a big bed for two and a desk a draw a mirror a CD player |I don’t know if it works that well and 3 chairs one big one and 2 little ones from the kitchen witch we call our room mine and leo’s there’s a little door to the dressing room and another little door to the bathroom .And another door to Mummy’s and Daddy’s room it’s good the appartement but we share it with an old lady but it’s fine daddy’s says that she passes to much and we can hear her through our transparent door but we have curtains on them and then shutters we have that on both doors .Then we went out to lunch with one of daddy’s friend I ate penne with tomato sauce then we went to Fontana de trevi and mummy took 2 photos of me and leo then we went to get and Ice cream I had chocolate mouse and melted chocolate in a pot with a spoon leo had nutella in a cone and mummy and daddy shared one they had a cone to they shared an armond and vanilla .

Then we went to piazza de spagna and we went on every single step on the way down we counted them they have 120 steps in total it took two minutes to count them and then we took another taxi and went home to the appartement but before that we went down stairs to go to the super market and got a little bit of food for the kitchen then we arrived back me and Leo unpacked the shopping and mummy went out to get her hair done and we stayed in the house colouring then mummy came home and said the hair dresses aren’t open on Monday’s now we are going out for dinner.

    Actually, Helena, I say give this young lady a column of her own on the National. Convince your editor that it would encourage other young people to read more and put their thoughts down in writing in proper words nd nt txt spk
