Flipping and flopping


Hey,
Last week we went to a fun park and boy was it fun. Dad bought 30 tokens to use though some rides cost two. The first thing William and I went on was a jumping castle. There were stairs to climb up and a platform and there was another platform on the other side in-between the platforms was a hole 1 meter deep and on the floor of that hole it was more bouncy castle we would bounce on one platform, jump and fall in the hole and bounce back up and then do flip but William only got to bounce down and back up - no flip. Then we went on a sort on trampoline.  We would bounce on the trampoline while being tied to elastic bands, meaning that you would bounce extra high. On every turn you had 2 super bounces and you would go so high that it felt as if nothing will keep you failing down. You can do for flips, backward flips and double fling.

After that we went go kart racing, and my kart crashed 4 times so Will won it instead.

Then we went on a ride with Xavier it was a bouncy castle but with a big hump in the middle. We went bouncy trampolines again. It was tiring.

After lunch, we went on a long walk down to our local park. We followed a path and got a bit lost. There were lots of courses to do. We did some but struggled with others. William, Xavier and I got tired and cranky so Dad decided to go home which was a shame because there were lots to do.

Let's pool fence Venice


Ciao,
After Paris we headed to Turin, part of the home of pizza and pasta and gelato, with our cousins Santi and Holly.  Tania’s husband Giulio showed Xavier and Will Santi’s battery power quad bike which Xavier took a liking to straight away.  Giulio’s pasta will always have a place in our tummies. We have had gelato a lot and I had a granita. 


In Venice, we had to take a boat as a bus every day! Our hotel has two rooms a bedroom and a bathroom (no kitchen). Mum says its normal for a hotel room but I think it is an outrage. We have pizza for dinner nearly every day. I was very worried because Xavier was very close to the water’s edge so I wanted to put pool fencing around the whole of Venice but Dad said it was not possible.


In Pisa, we spent two hours on the way to Genoa. We stopped at the leaning tower and it was really leaning.  I stopped the tower from falling, and then we went to pray so that we could get into the church without paying or waiting in a queue.


In Genoa, we stayed in a bed and breakfast for 3 days. We went to the aquarium. I really liked the dolphins doing tricks and flips, and the chameleon (At the top of the screen in the photo below, who reminded me of my netball team, the Camberwell Chameleons.). On the second day we went to the Citta dei Bambina which is like Scienceworks.  There were lots of things to do including a bubble area, a climbing wall and a real turtle. The bubbles were my favourite because you could blow really big ones.
