Italy trip 2004

The full tour group in front of the amphitheatre in Verona

It's pretty difficult to describe what the Italy trip was like but it was definitely worth all the money we paid! The brilliant thing was that we were always busy and not one moment was boring or not worth it.

Some of the best parts of the trip came when we were simply roaming the streets of Venice or Verona, and the hours we spent in Gardaland theme park!

I think all the people on the trip probably owe Romano and Damiano Fusciardi a big thank you (for their translation skills), because if it wasn't for them we'd probably still be in Milan Airport! Also, thanks to Mr Swan for wearing the big rainbow umbrella hat, we appreciated it! Special thanks to all of the teachers who gave up their holiday time to bring us - Ms Hennessy, Mr Swan, Ms Toolan, Ms Galligan and Mr McNamara.
