We tried to have one last sleep in but we were all awake pretty early again. Though, we didn’t get out of bed until about 11am when Greta came to say goodbye. Greta stayed for an hour chatting away and laughing and talking about all the good times, before she had to go. In the meantime we found a huge spider that Navajo and Cecilia were very scared of and I wasn’t a fan either, but Greta was in her zone trying to catch it - she was unsuccessful. Saying goodby...

Today we again had a bit of a sleep in - even though we woke up very early as usual to the sounds of the dog barking and the rest of the family. For the first time since we had been in Italy it was raining... a lot. We all stayed in bed for a lot of the morning and then mucked around and watched some Netflix and chilled. We had more pasta for lunch and then after lunch Navajo and I watched a movie, while Cecilia watched her TV show. We relaxed at home for the aft...

Unfortunately for me I got rather sick and had to head home, and spent the rest of the a...

Due to a very late night for half the group we again had a bit of a sleep in before getting up and showering and getting ready (very slowly). When everyone was finally ready we headed out.

Once we had taken some photos and had a look around we carried on our way throu...

This morning we had a bit of a sleep in again, then Navajo and Cecilia got up and went for a run - no surprises I was rather sick again. Once they were back the three of us packed a bag and got ready to go to Verona for the weekend. We left home at 11:40am and picked up Greta and headed to the train station. First train went good, two hours on that and we arrived in Brescia. Then we had a bit of an issue. We checked the departure board and our second train was d...
