As a lot younger man than yourself 😁 I don’t mind flying it’s the stih you have to go through before you get on the bloody plane. Love Italy though, we’re in Bologna atm then onward to Florence & then Rome.

Great when that happens isn’t it. Our recent flight back to Bristol from Thessaloniki seemed pretty much full, however the two seats next to me in the extra legroom row were both empty, so I could effectively lie across all three for the trip. Far more comfortable 🙂

Bologna, Florence and Rome :shock: and you have the cheek to talk about me being on holiday all the time :) 8-)

I've been to Florence and Rome, lovely cities, but not Bologna.

Have a great time :tup:

🤣 Bologna is more a working city with a large university/student vibe G&W, very enjoyable stay but a few days is plenty, off to Florence tomorrow.

Planning a theater day in London. Just scored tickets to see a matinee performance of Bill Bailey's one-man show followed by an evening performance of The Lives of Others starring Keira Knightley, Stephen Dillane, and Luke Thompson.

Can't wait.

Are there any decent restaurants in the West End where I can get dinner between shows? ;-)

Like every city most city centre restaurants are overpriced tourist traps, go a few streets back and do a bit of research before you go. Enjoy !
