Europe 10: Rome


Of course our main event in Rome was the colosseum. Where they had guys out here as warriors who I guess also wore snapback hates under their helmets. But it was a fun tourist picture to have for my scrapbook. Which I will be starting soon and will ever youtube or blog about it.


In side was so amazing. I couldn't believe how big it was and how put together it still is. For it to still be standing and not look too crumbled or anything. Again I go back to how I felt in Athens when you just look around and think of the hundreds and thousands of people who have been walking through here. All the people back in ancient Rome who sat and watch gladiators fight. Julius Caesar himself would walk these steps that I was walking on. I may just be a history nerd but you have to realize how amazing that is. 


When we got off our sight seeing bus we had to get pizza. Now this place we went to had amazing and interesting pizzas. We had one with lettuce, roasted tomatoes, and mozzarella cheese. Best pizza I ever had. It had so much flavor and tasted so fresh.


My biggest disappointment was that the Trevi Fountain was being worked on. I may sound like a complete loser saying this. But I wanted my Lizzie McGuire moment throwing the coin in the fountain and having a random lady give me a wheel of cheese because I loved like an Italian popstar. Is that too much to ask for?

We ended the day back at the colosseum and ate at a gay pride restaurant which was so much fun and tasted really good. We shared some grilled chicken and a pizza. While I enjoyed those amazing European iced coffees that I miss so much being back home in Florida. Starbucks has nothing on these coffees.

Shanghai Disney

One of the really unique things they have at Shanghai Disney is the Alice in Wonderland maze. The big attraction is the big queen of hearts head in her part of the garden. It's a really simple and fun attraction to do in the park. It is located behind the castle in their Fantasy Land. Obviously, the big talk of Shanghai Disney is their Pirates of the Caribbean ride. Let me tell you I could just ride it all day long. It is honestly mind blowing and I have never experienced a ride like it before. I was lucky enough to ride it twice in the same day as well as the Tron Lightcycle Coaster. However I do prefer the pirates ride over the tron. ride.  The castle is so huge and beautiful and I had to put a picture of me in front of it. Now below is the video of my day there minus the Royal Banquet Hall which I will do a separate post on. I just would like to warn some travelers about some of the things I noticed there. Shanghai Disney people do not really under stand line...

Meeting Maxwell Glick and Jon Cozart after the Disney sing-a-long after being on stage with them during a Tangled song and being in the front row dancing with them, two very sweet gentleman and I'm so happy I got to meet them and getting some youtube advise from Mr. Cheezypop himself! At the Charity ball I got to meet Ty Simpkins who is from Jurassic World and the Insidious films. He was also very sweet and nice of him to come out of the V.I.P area to interact with his fans and take photos for free and have nice conversations with everyone. That same night after the dance was the Harry Potter and the Cursed Child midnight release party! Potter Puppet Pals did a show, there was real life wizard chess, quid ditch matches, costume contests, being sorted by the sorting hat, and much more to do.
