Finally

Let me now tell you about our "lovely" trip to Italy.

When we first arrived we went home and had some lovely lunch that the Italian's mum had made us, and then we jumped on the scooter (no it's not just a myth - everybody in Italy drives a scooter...) and went down to the sea. 

Isn't it gorgeous, if we were in a film you would hear an Italian opera in the background - can you hear it..?

This is what happens when you eat Italian Mama's lovely food, you get strong arms but a pot belly;)

And then we went around on the scooter for a bit and everything is really just so beautiful there, this is what most of the shopping streets look like.

In the evening we went out for a bit with the Italian's best friend P and his girlfriend M, we didn't stay out long because we had to be up early the next day.

But then..... something changed, the next day we had to be up early because the Italian had to go to the hospital for a quick check up so they could make sure that he was ok before doing his surgery the Wednesday after (which was the reason we went to Italy in the first place).

Only they decided that he was supposed to check into hospital that day instead of on the Monday like we had first thought....

Yep that's right, did you hear it too, the opera stopped with a loud sound of the record being scratched as it did so...

Good bye Capri... good bye spending some well needed time together.... good bye well needed holiday for the Italian....

This is where it was spent instead... (obviously I made him make room for me on the bed and I slept for the first two days I think. It's unbelievable how tired you get when you do NOTHING:)

And instead of beautiful sea and sun this was our view for the next six days (eight for the Italian)

Fun right...?!?

We did however sneak him out occasionally and more about that later now I need to go to Sainsbury's so I can get back before Ugly Betty starts at nine.
