Italy round-up

Hello everyone!

Here's a post with a gloriously random compilation of pictures from our trip to Italy. We experienced so many interesting thing and I couldn't fit in all the pictures the other posts.

Did you know that our humans almost had their wallets and passports stolen? On the metro in Milan three "pregnant" gypsy women came up to them and asked confusing question about how to get to a specific station. I say "pregnant" in quotation marks because on one of them her "belly" was slightly off to the side. While the women were distracting us by pointing to the map of the metro they tried to stick their hands down our humans' pockets and handbag. Scary right? Luckily I was in the handbag ready to bite their prying fingers. They ran off after that. Haha!

Good thing Julius and I don't need to carry passports. We just travel in the luggage ;)

Talking of scary things: In Verona we stayed in a flat with really old beds. Like from the 18th century. I swear I saw a ghost and couldn't sleep.

Now for a more cheerful subject. We saw a lot of nice art. Check out this sad dude for example. The poor thing is badly in need of some candy. I feel him.

Here is a nice and summerly photo of me. This one is from Bologna.

We had randomly walked into an interesting area with lots of interesting street art. I like this kind of thing.

Grrrr...

In Milan we went to the Museum of Science of Technology (named after Leonardo da Vinci of course). The had a copy of a 16th century pharmacy. For some reason there was a climbing crocodile on the wall...

They also had a bunch of old trains and a submarine.

Julius smellt like engine oil for two days after climbing round an old steam engine.

This next picture is from the train on the way to Bologna. As the train crossed the River Po Julius exclaimed: "Alea iacta est!". He thought he was being clever imitating his namesake, but as you'd expect he hadn't been listening in history class. The river Julius Caesar crossed with those words was the Rubicon not Po... Silly kid.

In the airport on the way home we met this guy. He was very friendly.

Until tomorrow!
