Thursday, Budapest

Sup dude? I'm in Budapest. The baths are splndid (especially the wave one). I'm sorry I don't have much to say.

- Jack O Lantern

Fun Fact: Budapest is made of two cities: Buda and Pest. We are staying on the Pest side of the river.

Monday, Venice

Yo! I'm in venice now and have ridden two boats -- excluding the Navigator of the Seas!. This morning in Florence I climbed 463 steps to the top of a dome with dad. Goodbye for now!

- Jack

PS I ate the best mexican food last night!

Saturday Florence/Pisa

Buena Sera!

Today I saw the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Wanna hear a joke? What tower leans over and sells pizza? The Leaning Tower of Pizza! a! I got a kiwi popsickle thingy and it was the best!

PS If you haven't noticed, we aren't in Rome anymore!

PPS The power thing broke and now we can't charge my DS (I am not happy!)

Rome/Pompeii, Tuesday

'Sup Dude! Pompeii was actually boring. Maybe its because I'm "ruined" out from seeing so many on the vacation so far. I'm starting to learn what some italian words mean, take 1 minuto for example, probably means 1 minute! Ciao!

- JackAttack

PS Yesterday we walked through a crazy garden (the Villa Borghese) and rode a crazy bike for four people!

Sunday - Rome

We departed the Navigator to a bus and roade to a spot where we walkd three blocks to a train ride. We couldn't fit on the first train and ended up standing on the 2nd one! We rode a private car to our apartment. It has PLENTY of space! We walked to an ice cream (gelato) shop. Then a medium sized grocery store which is more like a very small sized grocery store! We saw a VERY famous fountain. A little more ice cream and back.

Arrivederci! (good bye in Italian)

- Jack

PS I ate at a place with peanuts and buffers that I ate at when I was 3.5 years old. Back in time: "I love peanuts and buffers. I want a peanut buffer and jelly sandwich"

Thursday/Friday

Turkey -

In Turkey, we went to more ruins, home to one of the 7 wonders of the ancient world. I was like the "picture" dude. The next day, we went to Crete. More ruins, except they were BORING! Then we went to a city. The good thing is that we got great ice cream. It was a bazillion second walk back to the boat. bye!

PS: I sat on ancient toilets in the ruins in Turkey.

Wednesday - Navigator/Athens

Kalimera! (Good Day in Greek) Today I went to Athens, Greece. There we saw ancient Athens, one of the most famous ancient places in the world! Ya Jealos? huh? huh? :) You can also call it the Parthenon and the Acropolis. I was quite amazed! At night we did a pirate play, sponsored by the letter Rrrrrr..

PS I tried Baklava and I DID NOT Like It

PPS They had wierd letters in their alphabet I didn't understand

PPPS Yesterday we did a circus parade on the ship and I was the ringmaster!

We stopped at Messina Sicily to swim in the ocean but I got salt water in my mouth! When I changed out of my bthing suit, rocks came out everywhere! Like....A rock hazard!

Sunday, Rome, Italy - Giant Cruise to Turkey, Athens and More

Hi! While I was still in the hotel, I got European 50 cents! In order to board the Navigator of the Sea (the ship) you have to go through security just like an airport! We even saw a jellyfish! We ate at Johnny Rockets on the boat. The room is cool, it even has an arcade! The boat is huge!

Rome, Italy

After 4 hours in London, 2 hours and 30 minutes to Rome, we got our passport stamped! Someone drove us to our hotel and we ate McDonalds. We had Gelato (ice cream in Italian) for dessert.
