I'm back. Yay! Don't all get too excited will you?
Italy was awesome. The hotel in Tuscany was right on lake Tresimino. Only had 8 rooms and we were on the top floor in a suite. Very oldy worldy, low beams, rustic feeling but with only 8 rooms you got awesome service.
Weather was great. 32 degrees on the last day in Rome. Ate lots of lovely food, drank lots of lovely wine.
Ended up in a Gay Parade. Completely unplanned (honest) which I think is what made it such good fun. We were on an uopen top bus tour of Rome and the streets just ground to a halt. Spent 30 minutes sat in traffic, moaning, whinging, getting hot and in the end the driver informed us he couldn't get to the next stop so we had to get off and walk.
We were all mega p1ssed off by this point. 10 minutes walk later we heard some banging louded music then all these floats started going by full of half naked men and fully naked transsexuals, and lots of rainbow flags etc..... and then it dawned on us why all the streets were so busy. Cheered us up though. Had a right giggle. Stayed in the parade for about an hour. lol
Nobody tried to bum me though. Must be losing my looks.
Flight home was a disaster. Flight got cancelled last second, thought we were gonna have to stay another night, but ended up managing to get a flight via Munich with Lufthansa. Still took 18 hours in total to get home though.
Good thing is the Lufthansa flights worked out cheaper as a return ticket, so we can go back for free in October if we want. Just need to find a cheap flight back.
