Even though I was extremely sad to hear about the shipwreck by Giglio Island off the coast of Italy, I was still extremely curious as to how it had happened. I wanted to learn how such a huge ship had crashed into an island. I wanted to know what happened and I really wanted to see it with my own eyes. So me and a few friends decided to make a day trip out to Giglio Island to check out the shipwreck and visit a new part of Italy. To our surprise, it was quite a hectic trip trying to get from Florence to this little island! First we had to take a train to a city called Grosetto, then another train to a city called Orbetello, and then a ferry ride to Giglio Island. Orbetello was one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen! The buildings were all a different color and they were all right along the shoreline. The ferry ride made all of us a little bit nauseous, but it was completely worth it once we saw the ship in sight. It was unbelievable! It was HUGE!! I was actually very surprised because the ship was practically on the shoreline of Giglio Island. We were able to get pretty close to the ship and we took a ton of pictures! Even though Giglio Island was struck such a tragic accident, I would love to go back there sometime in the summer. It was beautiful!
