Did I miss the blow-by-blow account of your trip to Italy?

I know the photos of you & Darth are sub judice, but was expecting the views of a colonial in the land of {Censored by Omerta}

Or do I have to invent a detailed and salacious version?

Nah. I was going to put some pictures up and describe it via the magic of photography but I haven't done so yet. I'll probably work on it this weekend. Part of the benefit is that Flea's family can read of our mighty adventures online as well.

Part of the stickler is choosing between "tourist" photos and the more, erm, storytelling ones. I mean, I have two dozen photos of the Colosseum from different angles and locations but I doubt anyone wants to see them all Smiley: grin

We don't have many pics of us anyway. A few standard "Hey, take our picture?" shots in front of some scenic locations but nothing irreplacable by other photos.

Hey Nobby

Yes it was! She was a little sore afterwards, but everything worked like you said!

I know I gave you an overview when we hooked up in that pole-dancing bar in Napoli during Flea's afternoon power-nap, but as promised, here's the full itinerary.

Day 1: Landfall

After the ship docked in Syracuse, we managed to get out of the container and sneak past the stevedores, but it was a close call! Just as we climbed over the crates and opened the door we heard the chains clanking as the crane hooked the container-grabs. A minute later and we'd have been raised 50 feet in the air and transferred to a Korean transporter (Apparently we'd stowed away in a container of engine parts bound for Seoul.) Lol!

The docks at Syracuse aren't the prettiest part of Sicily, I can tell you. After looking into a few dangerous looking bars we decided we needed to get into the countryside and see the real Sicily.

Flea had neve hot-wired a european car before, but it seems the skills are transferrable, and within 20 minutes we were heading to the foothills of mount etna in a '97 Fiat ***** :-)

We decided to wait until the next morning to hit Palermo and get our "Passports" from Giovanni, so we slept in the car and Flea cooked up some road-kill on the engine block as the sun set. You want Romantic?! Hehehe

Day 2: Into Palermo

By 9am we'd dumped the Fiat in the Piazza Demea and Flea 'acquired' 2 Vespa scooters so we'd fit in. Giovanni was waiting behind the Fish Market as agreed and 10 minutes and a blow-job later, we were bona-fide Italians! Yay. Welcome Signor e Singora Iofelo di Foro-qua-Cuatro! Passports, drivers licenses and immunization certificates all looked convincing enough, and after a few practice sigantures for the Credit Cards, we were good to go.

I did sweat a bit when the Airport clerk checked our passport photos and credit card signatures, but by 5pm we were flying to Rome Ciampino Airport!

On arriving in Rome we had planned a meal in the Piazza Navona, but as we were both exhausted, we checked into a nice Hotel, shared a bottle of Barolo and a granola bar in the bar and retired for the night

Day 3: That's Amore!

We were up early and after a light breakfast, headed for the Palatine. Flea was a tad grumpy about the ***-pinching (some of the men complained or scowled at her, but she persevered and pinched away regardless).

We found a traditional Italian McDonald's and shared a Gran-Mac con Fritti, and headed for the Parthenon. Flea was disappointed that the visit would involve an 800 mile trip to Athens, and that Greece is not (as she thought) a suburb of Rome, but I distracted her with a knee-trembler in a doorway by the Trevi Fountain.

By 6pm we were quite tired so had a quiet meal of Lasagne-al-Forno with fries and a cherry coke at "La Casa Internazionale di Pancakes" and had an early night.

I'll carry on the tale tomorrow. Later Nobs
