Abart time n'all I was beginning to think that you'd sprained your typing hand lad. Nice turn of phrase there young 'un - pleased I've brought you up well. Been on Beechie's blog and he'd written loads before I've just found this so was wondering what tha was playing at. Liverpool lost 3-0 to Arsenal today - they were garbage. Went racing to Wetherby yesterday - I had one horse that came in at 10/1 - trouble was, the rest came in at half past 12 boom boom. As I said to Tim - you can do Pisa in half a day because apart from the Garden of Miracles there's not a great deal to see. Worth going though because the lines on the buildings play tricks with your brain. They've tried to correct the flaws as the buildings have sunk and it sends you boz-eyed. Sienna is totally different to Florence - it's a walled Mediaeival town that just seems to be stuck in time. Cracking place to visit. Just looked at the weather for Rome - iut's sunny and 18C for the next 5 days so you'll be glad to feel a bit warmer. Keep writing son - we're enjoying the read but are missing you back home.

Few tips for Italy Florence - There's a Tourist information Office straight across the road from the railway where you can get free maps and any info other info (They speak good English). Sienna - Try to get there on a Sunday, they seem to hold festivals, marches, processions and other events on that day through the walled town. Rome - Watch your pockets around Trevi Fountain, also top left corner of the Trevi Fountain Piazza as you look at the water, there's a nice sandwich shop which the locals us. Cheap prices and good food/drink. Pantheon seems to have live musicians at night. Good place for a drink. Venice - Don't eat, drink or even sit in cafe in St Marks Square - rip-off city, pop round a side-street.
Also for the blog - jot down some one-word reminders on a bit of paper - e.g. date, city, special places and memories so that when you write your blog some time down the road, you've got a memory jogger.
Hope the weather's still keeping up - it's bleeding freezing here.
Papa
