Liam's Challenge

Liam had sent me an Email the day before that said I had to run two kilometres per three days easy, I completed it in one day and up stairs and with two evil dudes chasing me.

 

 

 

 

Scary but true, but when you have two bad guys on your tail you get filled with adrenaline. You have to go really fast.

 

The Rose Garden

 

 

Running up the stairs wasn't hard but through the rose garden was. The sweet smell of the roses seemed to slow me, urge me to smell them, but I resisted, or did my senses eventually take over. There were three-hundred and fifty roses urging me with smell them. Which means three-hundred and fifty times I had to resist the urge.

 

 

Alright, my senses did overcome me.

On the way back we saw a vintage car rally. It was really loud!

Look at all those cool cars

 

 

 

That's an old one

 

 

 

Leonardo Da Vinci Museum

 

Yesterday, I was doing my blog for Venice day 1, 2 & 3 while Zoe and mum went to the Leonardo Di Vinci Museum. They got the pizza package deal so it cost them eight €uros to get in instead of seven €uros each. When you enter you see a picture of the Mona Lisa with a hole for a head and you are supposed to put your head in, and Zoe did. It's really funny I know [and no Zoe that was a compliment]. Today, dad and I went, we didn't get the pizza package deal but we were fine.

 

 

 

 

Here are a few things I saw at the museum…

 

 

 

 

 

 

Archimedes screw

 

 

Leonardo also designed pulley systems. Single pulleys had been used for hundreds of years but he made changes to pulley system. It was a single pulley attached to a single pulley. It was easier than the single pulley system and revolutionised the way we lived. Then he created the triple pulley system. It was a double pulley attached to a single pulley. It was easier than the double and single pulley system and revolutionised the way we lived. Then he worked on the quadruple pulley system. It was a triple pulley attached to a single pulley. It was easier than the triple, double and single pulley system and revolutionised the way we lived because of the way they let us lift extremely heavy things with just a few pulls for example bricks for building the duomo.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The night clock

 

 

 

Our suitcase broke

The wheel got a rip that wasn't fixable. It was extremely devastating because the case meant a lot to me. We had to get it thrown in the garbage. Although we do now have separate cases to replace the old one.

 

 

 

 

I actually cried.

Tomorrow we are leaving to go to Cinque Terra ( Cinque Terra means five places because there are five towns along the cinque terra coast.)
