All the fun of the Fair...

Agrhh I am very stressed currently...I'm writing this blog post mainly to vent. I am trying to do some packing before leaving tomorrow and am having that awful realisation that not everything is going to fit...what do I do?!

Also, just wanted to update on the last few days. On Sunday we went to Rimini to the beach. Whilst it was very warm, it was actually pretty cloudy and miserable, there was even a bit of rain, nonetheless we sat on the beach and had a pretty nice, relaxing day.



On Monday, we went and got some forms signed in the morning. I got a charm for my bracelet of the Bologna towers as a little momento of my time here and then went home to chill....that evening we went for our final 'Il Rosso', one of our favourite restaurants here in Bologna which was, as always, delicious...God I'll miss that Tiramisu.

Yesterday though, to put a more positive spin on this so far pretty negative blog post, we went to Mirabilandia. Oh my goodness, this day was TOO much fun. Seriously, Emma and I had the best time. It was gorgeous weather all day, it was quite busy but we never queued for more than 20 minutes for anything even the big Roller coasters (which we went on more than once :P).

Honestly European theme parks are so different to British ones, the water rides are ridiculous, you don't just get a bit wet, you get head to toe drenched. Emma and I scoured at the people walking around the park in swimwear, then a few hours later, wished we had done the same :P Here's a little video I took to prove the seriousness of their water rides...


A few highlights were the 'watercoaster' which is a roller coaster but you go through water in parts..VERY unique and cool...the most insane coaster ever..'Speed' and having amazing views of the Ravenna countryside from the biggest Ferris Wheel we had ever seen.

I'll leave this blog post here with some pictures. Next time I talk to you I'll be back in the UK which is pretty hard to believe, I'm excited to be going home but also can't believe how quickly time has gone here...I'm really happy we have made the most of this last week though with lots of trips and days out :)
