Flixbus is a bus company that brings you around Europe from just 5 Euro. This is probably for the very short trips but trust me, these 5 euro seats are available. We however, were planning to take much longer journeys and so we bought the interflix 5 cities pass for 99 euros which is really worth it.

Our first trip with flixbus was a Paris to Madrid direct bus which was supposed to take 16 hours. If we bought this ticket as a single ticket, it would have cost us 35 euro per person. As they do not have adult and children fares, this price would have been the same for all 5 of us. So having seen this price, 5 cities at 99 euro meant that as long as each ticket was above 20 euro, it was worth using the interflix voucher. We used 1 for each person on this ticket.

So lets start with the review! The bus was late by 1 hour but this was fine as we were handled well at the bus station. Also, this was the only bus in our 5 trips that was delayed.

In the bus, we had internet, toilets, tables (around the size of the ones found on aeroplanes) and power sockets. The seats are also comfortable and can recline for sleeping.

As it was a free seating bus, the first thing I did was to save 5 seats for my family to sit near each other while my parents loaded the bags in the bag compartment under the bus. To safe guard our bags, my dad locked them up. We quickly settled down and our trip began from Paris to Madrid.

After about 5 hours and a few short stops, we finally reached the northern part of Spain which is where Spain and France share borders. To my surpise, it was snowing there! Fortunately for us, the bus had to make a stop at a petrol kiosk for around 20 minutes to refuel. My brother and I took this opportunity to step outside and play with the snow. I ran out of the bus at the first instance. Since I was down first, I hid behind a snow patch and when my brother arrived, I jumped out and threw a snow ball at him. The time came for us to board the bus and watch as we went along the snowy roads.

Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock. As time went by, I sat and spent this time reading, playing, sleeping, watching videos on board the comfortable bus. We finally reached Madrid after 16 hours as promised by Flixbus and that is where I found out that there was an unexpected snow storm in Madrid 2 days before we arrived.

All in all, Flixbus is a very good bus service with nice busses and comfortable seats. The drivers are also very polite and often help with any questions you have. The busses are clean. The toilets are also clean.

I would strongly recommend using Flixbus for your trip within Europe. Book your tickets at: www.flixbus.com

My visit to the Eiffel tower started when we waited in line to pass through the security check. After the check my father went to th ticket office and bought the tickets to go to the top floor and tha is when we started our journey to climb up to the second floor which even my three year old sister could climb and it was over 600 steps ! At the seconed floor we waited in another line for half-hour and then took a lift to the top floor which is where i thought is was actually a radio station. I also forgot to mention that they gave us 2 brochures to have a treasure hunt. The weather was also marvellous at the top and at the bottem.

Hello Everyone. Today I am going to write about The leaning tower of Pisa which is in the City Pisa of course! Here are some facts:

1. The Tower is also a bell tower of Pisa
2. This tower of Pisa is famous as it is leaning on the side.
3. This tower weights 14,500 tons
4. this towers foundation is built on soft subsoil
5.  the tower started leaning at the second storey
6. The construction started at 1173 August and was completed at 1372
7. The tower has eight stories
8. There are 294 steps on the north side of the tower and 296 steps on the south side of the tower
9. Germans used the tower as a lookout during World War II and the attackers did not attack the tower and cathedral as it was very beautiful just like ponte vecchio in Florence.

That is all the facts I know. Now lets move on to history.

In the early days Pisa was a popular resting place for people coming from Europe going to Jerusalem. The military fleet was also the most successful. In 1174, engineer Bonnano laid a marble foundation large enough to park about 16 Ferrari 328s in. But because there was a lot of water underground the foundation only was kept 10 feet in the ground. The tower was finally completed in 1372 almost 200 years after it began and it is still leaning. The Tower of Pisa is the churches bell tower and that is why it is named Bell tower of Pisa. The real identity of the person who built the leaning tower is still a mystery. Over the next 750 years or more , it became clear the tower was not only learning,  it was actually falling at a rate of a few millimeters per year.

Thank you for reading this post please read more like The Colosseum.

Thank you and Bye Bye.

Good morning everyone.Today I am going to write about The Colosseum of Italy because I am actually in Rome!. This Colosseum was actually built by ten thousand Roman slaves by stone and concrete. This Colosseum was actually built between 72 AD and 80 AD(after Christ/ anno Donimi) by the Emperor Vespasian. The Colosseum is a amphitheater which means theater in the round. Did you know that the Colosseum is the largest amphitheater in the world.
Now I am going to write about the famous games in the amphitheater.

1. Spiculus: Spiculus, another renowned gladiator of the First Century AD, enjoyed a close relationship with the evil Emperor Nero. Nero awarded him with palaces by Spiculus.
2. Tetraites: This gladiator was originally discovered through graffiti found in 1817. This gladiator fought in style. He wielded a sword, a rectangle shield, a helmet, arm guards, and shin guards.
3. Crixus : This gladiator is a Gallic gladiator. He is also the leader of the gladiator school. After escaping the gladiator school, he helped to fight in a slaves to help him defeat large armies by the roman.
4. Spartacus: This gladiator was actually a Thracian soldier who had been captured and sold to become a slave. Lentulus Batiatus recognized him and he purchased him with then turning him into a gladiator.

That is some of the battles that I researched online.

Now  I am going to write about why the Colosseum is broken.  The Colosseum is broken  because of natural disasters like, earthquakes, Fire. There have also been people throughout the ages who have broken away pieces.
In the olden times the gladiators events that emperor makes sometimes has no entry fee an they give food like fruit for free. the tickets is made out of clay and the Colosseum has numbers on every gate and each ticket has the gate number that they have to go to see the gladiator battle and when there is no battle the Colosseum it is actually a meeting place to make friends or to buy stuff  just like a mall. But now it is museum. Did you know that people have waited their whole life just to get a ticket to see a gladiator battle. Did you know that in the place where there are gladiator battles, there is thirty-two trap doors and under the battle ground it is a back stage.
