Back from a hectic week and a half in Italy. Had a wonderful time, mostly good weather and of course the culture and the food stick in the mind. Even lost a bit of weight and a belt size but that was through the massive amount of walking we did over the days. Today has been stunning making our way back from Torino to home. We went from sunlight to snow in the Alps and back to rain, grey and then blue skies all in one day.
Generally a good time but occasionally I find that people are just downright disgraceful and ignorant and rude but then that's the Italians and French for you. Removing our luggage from the racks, placing theirs in it and throwing our cases (and others) in a pile in the train corridor was just one of the tricks these monkeys got up to - and that on a first class compartment. Wish I'd seen them do it, there'd have been someone with bruised testicles as a starter...
Apart from that, the way that these guys allow their dogs to shit unabated even around ancient world heritage monuments and their apparent lack of oral or other bodily hygiene the places themselves made up for it. Proof in both Italy and France that many many many many years ago there was an advanced, artistic and altogether more elegant time than those who inherited it deserve.
