Leaving Italia.
Di StuffSo here I am, Milan Airport, waiting for the flight that will return me to Belgium. I'm leaving one day early, fleeing ahead of the transport strike planned for tomorrow ... avoiding the big snow due on Sunday. It doesn't seem foolish.
Simon informed me, via Facebook and in response to my post about how bad the food was here in the airport, that he has never ever had good food here and that one should really bring their own. Too late. I shall arrive back in the Flatlands absolutely ravenous.
I'm making use of the last of my usb modem allowance. They are fabulous things, for those who enjoy an online life and don't have one of those wonder phones ... well actually, I can't imagine using the internet via a phone. I believe this makes me something of a dinosaur. There are other habits that make it more than certain, actually.
It will be good to reunite with the photographs taken on this journey. I'm curious to see what I captured. I felt like there was some good stuff but we'll see.
Beautiful blue skies here again today. It's been mostly stunning here, weatherwise, over the 6 days I spent in Italia. Gert has promised me rain on my return ...
Ciao from Italia I guess.

So relieved you're headed home before travel becomes 'sticky'! I must tell you that I, too, am a dinosaur and proud of it ;0 I'm sure I'm not your only fan eager to see what you captured this trip. (My DSLR is still in for repairs ... ) Hugs.
I can't imagine Web surfing on a phone either. I don't even like to read texts on it. But an iPad, oh an iPad. That's something I'd love.
Thanks, Barbara. I was glad I left early, there was another earthquake there today ... closer to Genova this time. A 5.3 only 91kms from Genova: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsww/Quakes/usc0007sgd.php I've been in enough bigger ones to know that this would have made me intensely nervous.
I don't even like the iPads, Veronica. I assume completely the status of dinosaur :-)
