THIS IS THE TRANSCRIPT - CLICK PLAY ON THE VIDEO ABOVE!

hello welcome back to the channel where we try new things to make your family happy and today it's a... it's quite an exotic one and it's very specific 

The new thing that we're trying is to get a bus for the very first time here in Rome uh we're going to try and go into the city that's why we're at this bus stop here and I think we've got to validate these... these cards

They're valid for 72 hours there you go Joe you could put it in the machine

Over to the machine over here.

And you just put the put the card in he's probably going to wait for us to do it there we go, is it done it I can't see 

let's do...

what all right... 

You put this you put this in the machine? okay

He says it works. 

There you go, there you go you press the button 

put it in

Force it in.

Which way round? 

Which way round?

Try the other way 

What way did you do it?

With the barcode facing me. 

Where's the date stamp?

I haven't got one! 

Why not?

I don't know! 

oh there you go hey right see put Arrow... Arrow Way Down... we'll be there in a minute Is it that way?

The arrow. The arrow's the clue. 

There you go. 

oh that was funny the bus driver was having none of it! 

So this our first bus.

So all the uh duolingo that I did for... oh you know half an hour on the uh plane on the way over just escaped me! 

We didn't realize this but you can actually use the back doors as well 

Unfortunately I've scared the kids by putting lots of videos about Pickpockets on WhatsApp so now everyone's terrified of uh getting on the the the Metro - the train - so as a bonus we we're now going to get off the bus and get into a metro train and try not to get pickpocketed. 

Okay so I don't know if this the right stop.

We went sailing past um the metro station 

let's go whoa, watch it!

why are you so... 

we think we found the metro station uh just can't find the entrance 

okay so this is the entrance it looks really... oh look B for the B line! 

oh man here we go

there we go 

[Music]

[Music] 

Man I've put the fear of God into my family there's no one here but we're still looking out for pickpockets 

[Music]

[Music] 

Grazie! Grazie! 

Grazie!

[Music] 

I didn't mean to crumple it that was an accident

I didn't know... I didn't know he was going to ask for it back!

That was mistake number two 

So this is our stop: Circo Massimo

I don't know if I pronounced that right I can see barriers we just got to get to the barriers without being pick pocketed 

Circo Massimo!

It's very dark the the Rome Metro 

undergrounds should be really lit

Oh yeah here we go we just walk through oh yeah you can just walk through these that's what you needed to put the ticket in it's oneway barrier so that's a bit easier just hop over 

people literally walk around with boxes of pizza you 

other other cities have rats but here they just have pizza no no they have pizza places 

so look we just walked out of the exit straight into a Roman ruin I love this place 

it's absolutely gorgeous so I hope this uh this video is helpful I'm not sure it was um but if it is we've got loads more 

so thank you for hitting the thumbs up or the Subscribe button I'm right here next to the Metro sign this what you YouTube knows you are going to love watching next guys look!
