On the 12/11 we went to Rome again.We went to the colosseum first. The colosseum is a roman amphitheater. It was originally called the Flavian Amphitheater. It was built in 80 AD and is two semi-circular theatres joined to make it an oval shape. It was used for gladiator battles and other things until 523 AD. We walked through the Roman forum (the ancient part of rome) to the Trajan’s column. The Trajan’s column is a column put up the emperor Trajan when he defeated the Dacians (now Romania). It has a spiral carved story all the way up. We then walked to the Piazza Navona and looked at the street artists. There was a very clever spray painter. We walked (in the dark) to the Trevi fountain. I through in a coin. Then I through in another one. We went for tea in a small restaurant with really nice waiters. They even did magic tricks. Unfortunately they were the first two magic tricks I learnt.

 On the 15/11 we went for a bike ride in Meremma national park. We were on the back and a fox tried to steal my jumper!! When we were biking back, a fox ran out on the track and we stopped and it came over!! It was very cool.
