agrigento





So today I went to this wonderful place called Agrigento in the north of Sicily, near Tunisia in Africa, with my friends from Australia and NZ. It was really amazing because it used to be a grecian city thousands of years ago so there were all these incredible temples and ruins. The coastline nearby was beautiful too!

venice, treviso, the alps





So with AFS we have a thing called 'exchange week' where the ones in the north go to the south and vice versa. because i'm in the south i went right up to the north and stayed in a small city called treviso, near venice. Everything was really genuinly different there, people, fashion, food, weather, building,accent, general way of life etc etc. I spent two days in venice, one day tour of venice city then a day on the islands. I also spent a day up in the alps near austria which was amazing. We also did a tour of the area, i saw some really old amazing villas and wineries. i loved it up there everything was so european and lovely!
