"Always happy to see you," said Bertrand.
"And you as well," replied Pierre.
After taking a look around at the different paintings and styles of the artist... The friends decide to head back down to the city.
[[continue|Cruise No Painting]]At last, you and KeeKee climb the tower - KeeKee proudly clutching the Meowna Lisa under her arm - you hop into the basket, and untie the balloon.
<img src="https://keekeesbigadventures.com/images/untie.jpg" />
Down below you see painter pooch Pierre, guard dog Bertrand, gardener duck Odilia and Elliot the seagull all waving goodbye!
Have a good trip! Bon voyage!
<img src="https://keekeesbigadventures.com/images/wave.jpg" />
Au revoir! Goodbye, <<print $name>>!
[[continue|Until Next Time]]Oh boy, it smells like crêpes.
You and KeeKee walk around trying to find where the yummy smell is coming from.
Maybe it is the place Odilia wanted to take you to?
Now we wish we hadn't been so mean to her... maybe she could have taken us there.
[[continue|Lost In Paris]]You and KeeKee poke your head above the surface.
//plip//
//plip-plip//
You see coins are being thrown at you.
BONK
Ow!
"You're in the Trevi Fountain!" Alfredo said. "They're tossing coins to make wishes."
<img src="https://keekeesbigadventures.com/images/fountain.jpg" />
Your wish is that they would stop throwing coins!
[[continue|La Dolce Vita]]You should meet amico mio - my friend - Alfredo," Emilia said.
"He knows Rome like the back of his paw!"
"So, what do you think, <<print $name>>? Should we go meet Alfredo?"
[[Yes, let's meet Alfredo]]
[[No, let's explore on our own]]You and KeeKee thank Emilia for her help but decide to explore on your own.
[[continue|As the afternoon sun]]"Hmmph! Elliot says. "I'm disappointed that you would be so rude as a visitor in a foreign land."
"Oh well," you think. "Can't make everyone happy."
You and KeeKee climb down the tower and enter the city.
There is so much to see and do.
It is all a bit confusing to you - to be honest.
You wish you spoke French, as you’ve walked to a part of town where you have no idea where you are…
[[continue|Lost In Paris]]Montmartre is a one of a kind place full of cafes and shops.
Many artists have studios and work in this area. Some famous artists include... Pablo Picasso, Vincent van Gogh, Claude Monet, and Salvador Dali - to name a few.
Across the Artists' Square, Bertrand spotted painter pooch Pierre.
"Pierre, mon ami!" Bertrand greeted him.
<img src="https://keekeesbigadventures.com/images/pierre.jpg" />
Should we ask pooch Pierre to paint?
[[No, no thank you.]]
[[Yes, please paint us a Meowna Lisa]]You are an excellent adventurer... taking in all that Rome has to offer.
KeeKee has one more item on her list.
"Finally, the Sixteenth Chapel," she said.
You look at Alfredo. He looks at you.
"Where are the other fifteen chapels?" KeeKee asks.
<img src="https://keekeesbigadventures.com/images/sistine.jpg" />
"It's the Sistine Chapel," said Alfredo.
"Ohhhhhhhhh," said KeeKee.
[[continue|Sistine Chapel]]"Thank you so much," says KeeKee. "Thanks for being a great companion on this trip to France, <<print $name>>"
"You've made this a great adventure!" KeeKee added.
Would you like to...
[[Visit Paris again?|Follow KeeKee into Paris?]] or
[[Visit Rome, Italy|Rome, Italy]], or
[[Play Some Other Time?|ending]].You arrive at Notre Dame Cathedral. Everyone looks up in awe. It is huge!
Notre Dame towers above. With a huge circular "rose" stained-glass window, and two massive bell towers.
<img src="https://keekeesbigadventures.com/images/notredame.jpg" />
Spaced on ledges are carved column supports and water spouts with funny faces.
"Do you see the gargoyles, <<print $name>>?" said Odilia.
"Let's get a closer look."
[[continue|Climb Steps]]You choose to stay in the balloon.
This might end up being a very boring adventure for you.
<img src="https://keekeesbigadventures.com/images/zzz.jpg" />
You wait many hours. The sun is setting, and KeeKee returns... She is so excited for the day she just had. She has a portrait under her arms and has had a wonderful time exploring the city.
KeeKee unhooks the balloon from the top of the Eiffel Tower, and you float up into the sky of on your next adventure!
Would you like to...
[[End now? Play again some other time?|ending]]
[[Try Paris Again?|Paris, France]]
[[Go to Rome, Italy?|Rome, Italy]]You walk around for what feels like hours. The sun is setting, and it is starting to get dark.
You're both so hungry... and now tired...
You head back toward the Eiffel Tower and the balloon... and end up eating cold - not very good - pizza at a fast food restaurant.
They say it pays to be nice to others.
This adventure has ended. Do you want to...
[[Try Paris again?|Take a look below the clouds?]]
[[Fly the Balloon to Rome, Italy?|Rome, Italy]]Choose Your Own KeeKee AdventureYum.
Nutella and Banana is KeeKee's favorite too!
<img src="https://keekeesbigadventures.com/images/nutella.jpg" />
Nice choice, <<print $name>>!
[[continue|Eat Crepes]]Back at the Cat Sanctuary, you are greeted with cheers and applause!
Emilia sets up places for you, Alfredo, and the rest of the cats to eat - placing table cloths on the fallen columns creating make-shift picnic tables.
She pours wine glasses full of milk.
"Buon appetito!" says an older cat wearing a red shawl.
"Mangia!" exclaims a young orange kitty.
<img src="https://keekeesbigadventures.com/images/milkparty.jpg" />
"Saluté to KeeKee, and <<print $name>>" declares Emilia... and all the kitties raise their glasses thankful for the delicious dinner.
[[continue|From me and Roma]]You continue to explore the museum and see some amazing things.
After a while, the group decides you've seen enough art for today and leave the Louvre.
You decide to head up to Montmartre, the highest point in Paris.
[[continue|The Steps A]]Mamma Mia, this is a great choice! Benne!
KeeKee reviews her map, checks her compass, and tests the wind.
<img src="https://keekeesbigadventures.com/images/romemap.jpg" />
A few adjustments and the two of you are whisked high in the sky toward Rome!
This is going to be fun, <<print $name>>!
[[continue|Look Out Below]]"Is this a shelter for homeless kitties and cats?" asked KeeKee.
"Si, si" answered Emilia. "This is the world-famous Cat Sanctuary!"
<img src="http://www.keekeesbigadventures.com/images/coffee.jpg" />
"Mamma mia! I came from a shelter, too!" KeeKee said.
"What brings you to Italy's beautiful capital city?" Emilia asked.
"Well," KeeKee answered, "my friend <<print $name>> and I would love to..."
Visit the Colosseum.
Stand in the old, old Pantheon.
And see the Sixteenth Chapel.
[[continue|You should meet]]KeeKee puts on some swim gear and dives in.
<img src="https://keekeesbigadventures.com/images/swimgear.jpg" />
The water looks great!
You continue to get hotter. Sweat is pouring down your face. You feel a bit woozy. Dizzy.
You start to sway a bit.
[[Heat Stroke]]"Wait a minute!" KeeKee exclaimed.
"The MONA Lisa?"
You, KeeKee, Odilia, and Elliot make your way through the crowd to get a closer look.
"Do you have a question?" asked Bertrand, the security guard dog.
[[No, we have no questions.]]
[[Yes, we do have a question.]]There are 387 steps to the top of the tower.
"Let's go!" said KeeKee.
Do you want to...
[[Climb The Steps]]
[[Stay At The Bottom]]You recommend to KeeKee to find a different landing spot.
With your advice, KeeKee takes the balloon up higher again.
"Okay <<print $name>>, we'll find a different spot," says KeeKee.
[[continue|This looks like a good place to land]]The Funicular whisks us up the 450 feet to the top of the hill.
<img src="https://keekeesbigadventures.com/images/funicular.jpg" />
We arrive at the base of white-domed Basilica of the Sacre Coeur. It is a beautiful and huge church.
Wow! From this height, we can see the entire city of Paris - including the Eiffel Tower in the distance.
Beautiful!
[[continue|Artist's Square]]Ah, the classic jambon et fromage - ham and cheese. Like a croque-monsieur.
"Crock monster?" said KeeKee.
[[continue|Eat Crepes]]Still giggling you all make your way down and head toward the Louvre Museum.
One of the largest museums in the world... You look at sculptures... and paintings...
<img src="https://keekeesbigadventures.com/images/louvre.jpg" />
Until you finally come to...
[[continue|The Mona Lisa?]]"Colosseum?" KeeKee asked.
"That's where we want to go," said KeeKee, "but this huge building in in our way."
"This huge building IS the Colosseum," Alfredo said. "The biggest theater ever built."
"Big? It's COLOSSAL!," you exclaimed!
<img src="https://keekeesbigadventures.com/images/colosseum.jpg" />
Alfredo offered to show you two around.
Do you want to...
[[Follow Alfredo]]
[[Explore Rome on your own|Continue On?]]Well, that was a pretty good visit to Rome.
There is more to see... Do you want to...
[[Try Rome Again?|Look Out Below]]
[[Visit Paris|Paris, France]] or
[[End the Game?]]The crêperie was a quaint little brown building, operated by a Chef Bear.
<img src="https://keekeesbigadventures.com/images/crepestand.jpg" />
There were so many choices on the menu. And it smelled delightful.
Elliot ordered his usual salmon crêpe.
"I'll have jambon et fromage - ham and cheese, a croque-monsieur crêpe," said Odilia.
"A crock monster?" said KeeKee.
You study the menu... Which type of crêpe would you like, <<print $name>>?
[[Nutella and Banana?]]
[[Ham and Cheese]]
[[No Crepe For Me]]"Hmmph!" Odilia grumbles. "That is not very polite... And to think I was going to offer to take you two to my favorite crêperie."
Hopefully you didn't upset Odilia too much.
You continue to walk through the gardens.
Suddenly your nose begins to twitch.
"What's that yummy smell?" KeeKee wonders.
[[continue|Ignore Odilia 2]]There are two ways to the top. Walk up the steep steps or take the motorized Funicular (like a train car that goes uphill).
Oh no... the Funicular seems to be broken.
Fu-nick-you what?
[[continue|The Steps]]Rome looks beautiful from this height... The entire city spread out below you.
<img src="http://www.keekeesbigadventures.com/images/balloon_over_rome.jpg" />
KeeKee starts lowering the balloon for your landing.
As the ground comes closer, you can see a clearing in some ancient Roman ruins below.
What do you think, <<print $name>>?
[[This looks like a good place to land]]
[[You think you should land somewhere else]]Ohh la la, Paris, France is a great choice.
KeeKee adjusts the controls and the balloon picks up speed.
<b>Whoosh!</b>
As you start to go below the clouds...
POOMFF!!
<img src="https://keekeesbigadventures.com/images/poomf.jpg" width="500" />
"Whoa!" shouted KeeKee. "What was that?"
Why don't you take a look, <<print $name>> and see what that noise was.
Do you...
[[Take a look below the clouds?]] or [[Ask, KeeKee to look instead?]]"Ciao, Peppe!" Alfredo said. "These are my friends. They want to try your pizza."
"Yes, we'd like 23 pizzas with extra cheese, please," said KeeKee, "and extra ''extra'' anchovies!"
"You must be very hungry!" said Peppe.
"We sure are," KeeKee said with a smile. "Oh, and can you make them to go?"
Great, <<print $name>>... let's take the pizza back to the Cat Sanctuary.
Do you want to...
[[Take the scooter]]
[[Walk]]KeeKee grabs her bag getting ready to climb down the tower...
Just then a seagull wearing a brown beret and light blue scarf flies over.
<img src="https://keekeesbigadventures.com/images/elliot.jpg" width="500" />
Do you want to...
[[Ignore the Seagull?]]
[[Talk to the Seagull?]]The crêpes were scrumptious!
<img src="https://keekeesbigadventures.com/images/crepe-eat.jpg" />
Everyone gobbled down every last bite.
[[continue|Keep Exploring?]]Alfredo reaches into his pocket and removes two small statues of the Colosseum.
"From Roma and me to <<print $name>> and KeeKee," says Alfredo.
"This has been the <strong>best</strong> day!" you and KeeKee declare.
With bellies full of yummy pizza, you and KeeKee head to the balloon.
You untie the ropes and the balloon begins to climb.
You wave goodbye.
"Grazie mille, my friends!" you call out. "Thanks a million!"
<img src="https://keekeesbigadventures.com/images/romeclosing.jpg" />
"Until next time!" says KeeKee.
The cats wave back.
Arrivederci! Goodbye!
Buon viaggio! Happy Travels!
[[continue|As she floated]]Among the group of cats, a cute cat
wearing a pink and brown striped shirt and tan apron greets you.
"Benvenuto, Signorina!" said Emilia. "Welcome to Rome - the Eternal City!"
"Grazie!" you and KeeKee say...
<img src="https://keekeesbigadventures.com/images/sanctuary.jpg" />
"We see we've landed in the PURRfect place!," said KeeKee.
[[continue|Is this a shelter]]You wait at the bottom of the Cathedral.
It is beautiful from this vantage point as well. And, it is fun to watch the people go by.
But, this isn't very adventerous... just sitting. And, this is going to be a slow story if you just sit there...
Would you rather go back to the balloon? Or maybe reconsider and go to the top of Notre Dame with the rest of the gang?
[[Climb The Steps]]
[[Balloon Again]]No pizza, <<print $name>>?
That is disappointing as it is very delicious.
Oh well. "To each his own" as grandma used to say.
[[Onward|Back at Cat Sanctuary]]You walk into a room that seems as long as a football field.
The floor has elaborately tiled floors. And frescos - paintings on the walls - from floor to ceiling.
But the ceiling is what is truly amazing!
<img src="https://keekeesbigadventures.com/images/chapel_ceiling.jpg" />
Panel after panel of masterpiece painting, featuring scenes from the bible... including the famous "Creation of Adam."
"Splendido!" said KeeKee.
You can see why it took the super talented Michelangelo four years to paint this ceiling.
[[continue|Navona]]//RUMBLE RUMBLE//
Your hand is inside the Mouth!
The rumbling and noise... a garbage truck passing by!
Whoosh!
You are safe!
Makes you think... it is always better to tell the truth!
[[continue|As the afternoon sun]]KeeKee reaches into her messenger bag and pulls out mask, snorkel, and fins for both of you.
"Looks like your size, <<print $name>>" KeeKee says.
Alfred watches as you and KeeKee put on your swim gear and jump in.
<h2>SPLOOSH!!</h2>
Ahhh! The water feels delightful.
bonk...
BONK...
bonk - bonk
What the what?
You seem to be getting hit with something.
[[continue|Coins]]Okay, you're back at the balloon. You had a bit of fun in Paris.
What now?
[[Explore Paris Again?|Talk to the Seagull?]]
[[Eenough for now|ending]]
[[Let's Try Rome|Rome, Italy]]While massive on the outside - a huge round building... the inside is amazing.
Humongous columns circle the room supporting a huge domed roof - the largest of its kind. But, a HUGE round hole in the roof 26-feet wide - called an oculus - lets light in.
<img src="https://keekeesbigadventures.com/images/pantheon.jpg" />
"Holey Moley!" you exclaim as you gaze up in awe!
[[continue|Continue On?]]Inside the gardens, you, KeeKee, and Elliot admire the beautiful flowers. Odilia, the duck, says "Bonjour" - which means hello in French.
Do you...
[[Speak with Odilia]]
[[Ignore Odilia]]"Bonjour!" said Elliot the seagull. "Bienvenue! Welcome to the City of Lights."
"Merci!" you and KeeKee reply back.
"It's been my dream to visit Paris," KeeKee continues.
KeeKee goes on to explain, "I've always wanted to… Climb the Eiffel Tower (can check that off the list).
And we want to visit the beautiful Notre Dame Cathedral.
And, see the Meowna Lisa painting."
[[press to continue|Elliot offers]]<img src="https://keekeesbigadventures.com/cyoa/images/KeeKee_Badge_TM.jpg" width="150px">
<small>© KKBA Entertainment</small>Okay... here we go...
So, <<print $name>>, are you an honest person?
[[Yes, I'm honest.]]
[[No, I fib now and then.]]The Eiffel Tower began to sparkle with the most beautiful, twinkly lights.
<img src="https://keekeesbigadventures.com/images/sparkly.jpg" />
You all look up with delight!
Magnifique!
So sparkly!
Belle!
Truly an amazing day!
[[continue|Back At Balloon]]"How spectacular your gardens are!" said KeeKee.
"Merci beaucoup! said, Odilia.
You, KeeKee and Elliot continue to walk through the gardens.
Beautiful flowers of red, purple and yellow are abundant. Butterflies are flitting and bumblebees buzzing.
The gardens also feature beautiful statues. And clear blue pools and fountains.
<img src="https://keekeesbigadventures.com/images/garden.jpg" />
In a fountain to the left, a group of kids play with toy sailboats.
Suddenly your nose begins to twitch.
Do you smell something yummy, <<print $name>>?
[[continue|Odilia Guides]]<img src="https://keekeesbigadventures.com/images/balloon_hover.jpg" width="400" />
You and KeeKee are hovering above the clouds in your hot air balloon.
"So, <<print $name>> where should we travel today?" asks KeeKee.
[[Paris, France]] or [[Rome, Italy]]
Do you want to...
[[Try again?|Main Menu From Paris]]
[[Or play some other time?|ending]]Wait a minute?
You feel dizzy.
What's going on here?
[[continue|Look Out Below]]The group makes all sorts of funny faces.
Smooshing with their hands, crossing their eyes, sticking out their tongues.
"KeeKee, you definitely win!" Elliot said.
(KeeKee did make quite a silly looking face!)
[[continue|Head To Louvre]]KeeKee invited Odilia to come along to the next stop on her list, Notre Dame.
"I'd love to!" answered Odilia. "You //must// see the gargoyles!"
Do you want to...
[[Join the gang|Notre Dame]]
and head to Notre Dame? Or...
[[Have another crêpe?|Stay behind]]
385... 386... 387!
You're at the top.
The view of Paris from this height is spectacular. You can see the entire city!
The gargoyles are funny to look at up close. Some look sad, some look angry, some look goofy.
<img src="https://keekeesbigadventures.com/images/just_gargoyles.jpg" />
"Let's see who can make the funniest gargoyle face?!" said KeeKee.
Do you want to...
[[Try To Make A Gargoyle Face?]]
[[Just Watch The Others?]]You slowly put your hand near the Mouth of Truth. You begin to put your hand inside...
Suddenly you feel the ground shake and hear a loud rumbling.
Uh oh, <<print $name>>...
I thought you said you didn't tell lies!?
[[continue|Garbage Truck]]You slowly put your hand near the Mouth of Truth. You begin to put your hand inside...
Suddenly you feel the ground shake and hear a loud rumbling.
Uh oh, <<print $name>>...
[[continue|Garbage Truck]]Oh well. I guess you don't have to have a crêpe, <<print $name>>, but they sure are delicious.
You wait for KeeKee, Odilia, and Elliot to get their crêpes and the gang moves on.
[[continue|Eat Crepes]]Whoosh, that was close.
I guess we'll never know how honest (or not) you are.
[[continue|As the afternoon sun]]"My friend KeeKee is interested in a Meowna Lisa."
"Oui, oui, KeeKee! Please sit down for me!" Pierre said.
<img src="https://keekeesbigadventures.com/images/keekeesit.jpg" />
In no time at all, he skillfully painted KeeKee here very own Meowna Lisa.
"Merci beaucoup!" KeeKee said, thrilled.
"It's lovely!"
[[continue|Cruise With Painting]]As the sun was setting in the sky, the friends hopped on a boat and cruised along the Seine River, back to the Eiffel Tower.
"This has been a pretty good day!" said KeeKee.
"I agree!" said Elliot.
"But," added KeeKee, "I wish I could have seen the Meowna Lisa."
"Maybe next time," said Odilia.
You and KeeKee hop off at the base of the Eiffel Tower, climb to the top, hop into the basket, and untie the balloon.
<img src="https://keekeesbigadventures.com/images/untie.jpg" />
Below you see painter pooch Pierre, guard dog Bertrand, gardener duck Odilia and Elliot the seagull all waving goodbye!
<img src="https://keekeesbigadventures.com/images/wave.jpg" />
Have a good trip! Bon voyage!
Au revoir, <<print $name>>! Goodbye!
[[continue|Until Next Time]]"And now," Alfredo said, "I'm going to show you something //very// unusual."
You walk across a park featuring an ancient temple and fountain and across a busy street.
<img src="https://keekeesbigadventures.com/images/romanpark.jpg" />
You arrive at what is called Bocca della Verità - the Mouth of Truth.
It is a huge, round, flat stone sculpture on a small marble pedestal. Carved on it is the face of a bearded man, or maybe it is a god. There are holes that go through for the eyes, the nostrils and the mouth is gaping open.
"This use to be a sewer cover," Alfredo explains.
"Some believe - when you put your hand inside the mouth - it will bite the hand of anyone not telling the truth."
<img src="https://keekeesbigadventures.com/images/truth.jpg" />
Do you want to put your hand in the mouth, <<print $name>>?
[[Yes]]
[[No]]"Buongiorno," said Alfredo.
You meet Alfredo in front of a huge building that looks like an old stadium.
He is wearing a tunic with body armor, strappy sandals, a wide leather belt, wrist guards, and a helmet.
"Is it Halloween?" you ask pointing at Alfredo's costume.
"No, no, <<print $name>>" Alfredo laughed, "I am dressed like a Roman gladiator - our famous fighters from long ago. In our Colosseum, they were like today's rock stars."
[[Colosseum]]You, KeeKee, and Alfredo make your way through the streets of Rome each carrying 7 pizzas or so.
Before you know it, the smell of the pizzas has attracted a pack of dogs.
Yikes... there are dozens... and they look very VERY hungry.
Despite Alfredo being a dog himself, he isn't able to reason with the critters.
You have no choice but to give the pizza to the mean dogs.
Empty-handed, it doesn't make sense to return to the Cat Sanctuary.
While you had a good visit to Rome, it is disappointing you weren't able to bring food back to the rest of the cats.
You wait until it gets dark and take-off in the hot air balloon.
The End!
Would you like to try playing Rome again, or maybe go to Paris?
[[Try Rome Again|Rome, Italy]]
[[Paris, France]]Wow! This is quite a walk.
But, the exercise will do us good.
We finally arrive at the base of white-domed Basilica of the Sacre Coeur. It is a beautiful and huge church.
Whoosh... let's catch our breath for a minute...
[[continue|Artist's Square]]As you peek below the clouds, you see that you’re
high above one of the most beautiful cities in the world!
<img src="https://keekeesbigadventures.com/images/paris_view.jpg" width="500px">
Paris, France!
And look at that...
the balloon is hooked on the top of the Eiffel Tower!
<img src="https://keekeesbigadventures.com/images/top_of_tower.jpg" width="500px">
This looks like a good place to fasten the balloon!
What do you want to do next, <<print $name>>?
[[Stay In The Balloon?]] or [[Follow KeeKee into Paris?]]KeeKee had one more item on her list.
Do you want to join her?
[[Yes, continue on.]]
[[No, stop here.]]You and KeeKee hop on the back of the scooter - pizza stacked very tall.
Alfredo starts the engine.
Vrooommmmmm!
You zip down the busy streets of Rome, headed back to the Cat Sanctuary.
<img src="https://keekeesbigadventures.com/images/towerofpizza.jpg" />
"Careful, Alfredo!" shouted KeeKee. "We've got the Leaning Tower of Pizza back here!"
[[continue|Back at Cat Sanctuary]]Welcome Back.
You and KeeKee are hovering above the clouds in your hot air balloon.
KeeKee is wearing her red scarf and glancing at her travel maps. "Where would you like to travel to today, <<print $name>>?" asks KeeKee.
[[Return to Paris|Paris, France]]
[[Rome, Italy]]"Yes, please!" KeeKee exclaimed. Let's get a crêpe.
So Odilia led the way to the crêperie.
[[continue|Creperie]]You passed out.
Fainted.
It was too hot and you did not drink enough water today, <<print $name>>.
This concludes your adventure (for now) in Rome.
Do you want to...
[[Start over in Rome?|Rome, Italy]]
[[Visit Paris, France?|Paris, France]]
[[Play again some other time?|ending]]You depart the Sistine Chapel, still in awe.
You walk with KeeKee and Alfredo across the Piazza Navona, a huge city square with fountains, a merry-go-round, and more restaurants and shops than you can count.
<img src="https://keekeesbigadventures.com/images/piazza.jpg" />
"You starting to feel hungry?" Alfredo asks.
"When in Roma, you must eat pizza," said Alfredo.
"Doesn't Peppe's Pizza on the piazza sound perfect, <<print $name>>?" asks KeeKee.
[[Peppe's Pizza sound good to you?]]
[[No pizza for me]]"Merci beaucoup, my friends!" you and KeeKee waved. "Until next time!"
<img src="https://keekeesbigadventures.com/images/parisclose.jpg" />
As you float... up into the sky... off on your next adventure!
[[continue|Finale]]Rome is such a great place to explore!
As the afternoon sun heated up the city, you begin to sizzle.
"That pool looks refreshing!" KeeKee points to a pool of clear, blue, cool water.
Do you want to take a swim, <<print $name>>?
[[Swim with KeeKee]]
[[Don't swim]]Elliot offers to show you and KeeKee around with your first stop... A stroll down the magnificent Champs-Élysées, one of the most famous streets in the world.
You reach the end of the street and the entrance to the majestic Tuileries Garden.
Do you want to...
[[Enter the Gardens?]]
[[Head Somewhere Else?|Lost In Paris]]
[[Return to the Balloon?|Stay In The Balloon?]]First Alfredo led you to a part of Rome called the Forum.
This part of the city features blocks and blocks of ruins, shrines, temples, and an arch. Signs of a prosperous civilization that once was.
<img src="https://keekeesbigadventures.com/images/forum.jpg" />
"This was once the center of the great Roman Empire," Alfredo continues. "Speeches, elections, parades - it all happened right here."
"And now it's like a giant outdoor museum," said KeeKee.
[[continue|Back Then Gladiators]]As the sun was setting in the sky, the friends hopped on a boat and cruised along the Seine River, back to the Eiffel Tower.
"This has been the <strong>best</strong> day!" said KeeKee.
"I agree!" said Elliot.
"But there is one more thing to see before you go."
[[continue|Eiffel Tower Sparkling]]We don't blame you. These are some of the best crêpes in the world.
You order a second.
A third. And a fourth.
Before you know it, you've had 7 crêpes. While the next was even tastier than the last, you have a tummy ache.
You make your way back to the balloon, too full to tour the city...
[[continue|Main Menu From Paris]]"Okay, I'll take a look," says KeeKee.
"Ooh là là! We made it to Paris! And it looks like we can check the first thing off our list..."
The Eiffel Tower.
That "poomff!" noise was our balloon snagging the top of the tower.
"This looks like as good a place as any to park our balloon, <<print $name>>! Let's go!"
Do you want to...
[[Stay In The Balloon?]]
[[Follow KeeKee into Paris?]]The group makes all sorts of funny faces.
Smooshing with their hands, crossing their eyes, sticking out their tongues.
You do your best.
"You definitely win, <<print $name>>!" Elliot said.
Yay!
[[continue|Head To Louvre]]Bertrand led the way across town, to the highest point in Paris... Montmartre.
You are quite the gang - You, KeeKee, Odilia, Elliot, and Bertrand!
There are two ways to the top. You want to take...
[[The Steps]]
[[The Funicular]]"Why that's my favorite crêperie!" Odilia answered. "Would you like to try a real French crêpe?"
Didn't KeeKee say something about wanting a crêpe?
Do you want to...
[[Get A Crepe?]]
[[Or Keep Exploring|Keep Exploring?]]Alfredo explains, "Back in ancient times, gladiators rode in horse-drawn chariots. But today, many of us Romans ride on Vespas to get around our busy city."
"Want to join me on a scooter ride through Rome, <<print $name>>?" asks Alfredo.
[[Yes, take Scooter]]
[[No, continue by foot|Continue On?]]You see below a clearing among the Roman ruins.
As you get closer you see a group of cats waving you in.
<img src="http://www.keekeesbigadventures.com/images/rome_landing.jpg" />
"Look out belowwwwww!" you yell.
Some of the cats are guiding in your landing. Among the fallen columns and old ruins of Rome, there are cats everywhere!
[[continue|Benvenuto]]The ground gets further and further away.
