Hotel Forty Five Chivasso

... clutch. Kev couldn't raise a smile from Mr misery on his right, the lights changed and the Hearse driver left us for dead!!!!!!!!!!!<br>One more chance to ignore Doris, a quick u-turn across six lanes of traffic and two tram lines and we were back on course for the hotel.<br>Finally arriving at the front of the hotel doors after covering 1040 miles in the ever surprising pooper. We emerged with no aches and pains (caused by the pooper).<br>Bring on the return.............!

We awoke in Dijon to find everything back at normal size - apart from the mini which seemed<br>to have shrunk despite the deminishing food mountain in the car. Much amusement was had in <br>the showers following the remnents of our new towels, Richard thought he had some life <br>threatening disese, well, thought a vital part of his anatomy due to bleeding, Kev thought <br>he was growing a new Goatee on his neather regions ...

... down and watching fools play beach soccer was the best medicine. Sitting down at a front row table, though every seat was basically front row because it was a small stadium, us mushy brained tourists watched this event, sun glasses covering our faces foru 4 straight hours. It was absolutely delightful. Something about trying to control a soccer ball on the sand really makes whatever skill you may have slightly obsolete. The grainy, bumpy surface, it a sense levels ...

... went for a while, past Savonna and he dropped me off at an Autogrill. By that time it was 10pm and I had probably travelled 900kms.<br><br>I was waiting there for 10mins when I saw a girl and a guy coming out of the Autogrill. They were waiting in the car so I went to speak to them, there was another girl and guy in the car aswell. I asked the guy where he was going, he asked me if I knew English and where I was from. When I told him ...

... and broken Italian and lack of knowledge of the area.<br><br>What puzzles me is their Americanization. Why do they wear clothes from Hollister, Abercrombie, American Eagle? Why do they wear pre-worn baggy jeans? Why do they chug coca-cola, use dirty English slang, obsess over obscure American actors and fill their radio station songlists with contemporary American rock, pop and rap? They have so much to be proud of. I realize we have only been ...

... for the first time; it is a very strong alcohol that I had wanted to try since reading about the characters&#8217; fascination with it in For Whom the Bell Tolls. It was disgusting. I don&#8217;t like hard liquor anyway, and this was particularly potent. <br><br>We bid adieu to Stephy and Paolo tonight and will see them when they come to visit in September.

... holographic place. The first thing you see is that is is the biggest of all the halls...and where we slept all 30 of us all over the marble floor! It has the largest dome or cupola in the world underground...looks like a gigantic cathedral. In this extraordinary beautiful mosaic with Tiffany glass light just pours through the stained glass onto the walls made entirely of mirror tiles. This produces a kaleidoscope effect...like holographic pictures of you, others, spheres in ...

... they left for McDonald's. I met with Ricca at about 7pm but Mom and Janet were gone. Ricca and I went around to look for them. Later they returned to the plaza. After that we had a long meal in Shanghai Restaurant with Ricca's papa and his gf. They don't speak Cantonese. Food came really slowly and they weren't authentic. <br><br>Ricca ...

... hadn't been there. <br>We had lunch in a pizza place. I ordered the asparagus pizza but it <br>turned out to be something unexpected. It wasn't that great... Lorenzo's <br>pizza tasted good. The cheese tasted really nice. Sally ordered a <br>salami pizza. Lorenzo paid for us with her mom's dining coupons. We <br>had excellent icecream at GROM. I was very ...

... 3 hours before the start time". Yeah right. The rink wasn't very full yet, but there was still under an hour to go. Right before the statrt, the place was full of orange people. Oh, sorry Dutch people. There must have been over a thousand of them in total. Groups in all four corners of the Oval. I was sitting with one of the American skaters family, and some Canadians as well. There were 14 pairs to skate the 3000m. The 3 Canadians were in the final 3 pairings ...
