Next thing I knew, I was being pulled out of his bag in the middle of some place in ROME called the Colosseum. I could see ‘em all right. Those tourists were everywhere again, but my friends from Adventures by Disney made sure we never had to wait or queue for tickets. They looked after us real good.
His idea of an audience was sitting down to watch a puppet show where I met a strange black-faced character called Pulcinella. Tell the truth, I was nearly as frightened as when he sat me on that lavatory seat.
Then we went to this church, built on top of another church, built on top of an ancient pagan temple. St Clemente or somethin’. We went so far underground I thought I was back in the mine with the other dwarfs.
They did the same thing at the VATICAN and the Sistine Chapel, but the Captain says he couldn’t trust me to behave myself there; mighta got myself arrested by the Swiss Guards or somethin’ so I was kept under wraps (little did he know I sneaked out for an audience with a man with a nodding head and a white dress. I’d have been in big trouble if he found out).
Anyways, after he’d filled his face with lotsa pasta and a pizza he made hisself, we’re off again and I find myself in a flashy boat called a water taxi, just about to pass under the Rialto Bridge in VENICE.
What a place – no cars, no trucks, just water everywhere. One night it even flooded this big open square called St Mark’s. Musta nearly drowned all the pigeons!
Good job we managed a look around the Doge’s Palace in between the day trippers leaving and the high tide arriving. I hear tell that next summer, when Disney Magic is here, the passengers on tour will get the chance to have their pictures taken with Snow White and some of the princesses while sipping Prosecco on the loggia – whatever that is.
