Monopoli
I've never heard of Monopoli, and it sounds lovely so far. Well, apart from pushing you down train steps and the theft of glasses! :)

Trials and tribulations of hotel toasters
I recently had one-side-toasted toast in Indonesia (because I couldn't be bothered putting in through the conveyer belt griller thingie again) and the texture felt very very odd! In our sillier moments Andrew and I talk about what obscure coffee table books we could produce from our travel photos... a book of hotel breakfast rooms and their various quirks would be fabulous! But sadly, we've never thought to take photos of them :)

Free beaches for everyone!
We have a very similar view about beaches. We tend to get annoyed when even though the beach is still public property, the public access to said beach is controlled by private businesses. Argh! Some local planning laws (and their administrators) need a good talking to :)

For the love of porticos
I love porticos too. All the photos in this blog are great. Even though Bologna has so far evaded our attempts to visit, I think we need to rectify that soon. That veal dish sounds amazing... and speaking of limoncello, we stumbled upon a delicious concoction at Christmas lunch - limoncello and prosecco. A perfect Melbourne summer drink :)

Food writer
We'll make a food writer out of you yet Dave :) And it's mandatory to mention spag bol in a blog from Bologna, so your words on dinner were informative and appreciated. By the way, how did things end with the large white-faced woman??

Collaboration
I love this! And I have a business proposition for you... we should collaborate on a Mr and Ms Travel series! I'm sure between us we could cover all those super infuriating travel types. Although I'm aware that in agreeing with every single character you described, I might be getting grumpier in my old age too :)

History
I'm not overly fond of delving deep into the history of places, but it's so great when nuggets of history like the Cortes of Cadiz in that church make you look at contemporary life in a new light :)

Slow cooked eggs
I love a good aimless wander in a new place, and aimlessly wandering with an overarching purpose is my favourite kind! I also love a funny lost in translation moment :)

Welcome home
It is always good to sleep in your bed and use your shower.
