Translation of Nabelschau

In this email I would like to tell you what occured to me in Italy during the summer vacation last year. So, I went to Italy for four days. First I stayed in Firenze, than I decided to go to Rome.
Did you hear about the earthquake this morning in Greece. This is really terrible, I think that quite a few viligars lost their lifes and many more lost their homes. I am really sad for all of them.
Anyway, i got bored pretty fast, drank a Coconut and orange juice mix and went on. I returned my bike at four before heading again to the beach. By coincidence I met the sister of a colleague of mine.
