I love excuses. I forgot my camera when going on tour, the Italian region I toured still worked on Dial-up internet connection, my days were filled up to the max and my dog ate my computer.
Where do I start?
Travel: I took three days to go down to the city of Torre San Giovanni in the region of Lecce where I was awaited. I felt like taking my time by visiting the important Italian cities like Florence, Rome and Naples. On the other hand It wasn't my choice in the end to arrive at the wrong San Giovanni!rrrrrr! Who would of thought that in the same region there would be 2 different cities called San Giovanni. It was only when I called Kez (Free Peace drummer) that I soon realized my stupid mistake and turn backwards to travel another 9 hours to arrive at my correct destination. Twat!
I could go on for ages on Italian public transport unusual problems and it's bizarre ways but instead of writing loads of frustrated brain fart I am just going to say this: To go from Paris to Marseille it takes less than 3 hours by train. To go from Lecce to Genova it takes 25 hours by train. Final point.
Food: The Italians have amazing fruits, vegetable, meats and cheeses. When put together it makes some of the tastiest food I have ever eaten. When you don't have a kitchen and you are pretty low budget wise you end up eating Calzone and Pasta for two weeks. 70 Kg on the way there 73 Kg on the way back and I assure you it's not muscle from all the swimming.
People: I really love the italian way of life. Similar to the southern french life style, they like the good things in life. Family, food (ice cream and coffee) and siesta under an olive tree. At first approach the italians can seem somewhat aggressive in there way to speak, the well known exaggerated gestures, plus their energetic tone, combine in an unusual uncertainty.
we want photos !!!!!
