Maybe you'll have better luck on the way back?

When we were sitting in a café on Lake Garda several of the people sitting at the next table were speaking English: a Californian who lived in Italy and a Norwegian who stays there for the summer. I was reminded of the book at that moment.Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784891745623390957.post-47370004071463982562012-09-03T07:41:32.830+01:002012-09-03T07:41:32.830+01:00Thanks Little Bruv!

This is my first time in this part of Italy so I wasn't too sure of my geography until I looked it up last night and realised you were quite a distance away from here. The hotel manager said yesterday was the first bad day for two months. Typical! It's not a nice day this morning either. Hey ho.
