Food on my holiday

This is a selection of foods I have had on holiday:

Tm

In Florence I ate amazing ribs. They were delicious and crispy, I ate 8 out of 12 before I was full.

In Florence, after going to the Boboli gardens I cooled off with a delicious ice cream. My favourite flavour was strawberry.

After a day of excitement in Barcelona, I found my favourite 🍣 and maki rolls.

The potatoes were my favourite.

Still in Barcelona we had our first tapas. We were starving because we had walked 18,000 steps and swam for 2 and a half hours!

Pompeii

About 2000 years ago a volcano called Mt Vesuvius erupted covering the city of Pompeii in volcanic ash. The volcanic ash flew so far it made it to the sea covering the beach and filling in the bay.

This is a dog

When the ash fell it covered this dog and set hard like rock. Over time the dog rotted and left a hollow inside.

This is how the cast of the dog was made:

Step one – drill a hole through the ash to the hollow

Step two – pour liquid plaster in the hole

Step three – wait for the plaster to dry

Step four – break the ash off the cast

Gladiator school

In Roma we went to Gladiator school. First I got to try on some heavy Gladiator armour.

Second I got taught how to use a Roman sword. Here are some ways to use it: Hack, right neck, left neck, right leg, left leg and shish kebab which is stabbing someone in their stomach.

Last we went to the Collosseum where Gladiator fought. Sometimes they fought animals such as : lions, tigers, leopards, hippos, and even giraffes!
