italia..per gli ultimi giorni

assisi

san marino - rimini - riccione

firenze

Perugia!

The most bizarre combination of cohabitation with an Algerian baker and Brasilian musician. The last two days passed on the balcony, just couldn't care for leaving the house. The view over the mountains and Assisi, on the other hand the steps up to the centre. Constant climbing, sounds promising in terms of restoring my proportions.
20 minutes on the phone with Michela, the loveliest italiana. Tomorrow the classification of my language proficiency. And the rest of the bureaucracy.

11:00 coffe with Gildas and Katerina at the gare de Tours, facing the reality of broken wheels
13:20 a Greek farewell at gare de Lyon
21:07 Torino Porta Susa, a cheeky change of the stations
21:40 Torino Porta Nueva, me and the rest of the addicts on the platform, the airless sleeping cabin with a Maroccoan
07:46 Umbria at sunrise, an hour in Firenze, yesterday's sandwich
10:14 Perugia, the last effort over the cobble stones and up the hill

fairy-tale

Well equipped with chocolate and still naively hoping it will all fit in, I'm ready to leave the country. And I will carry along the best souvenirs I could ever wish.
And the crêpe I had with escargots.

au bord de la Loire

fête de la musique

Incredible, you would question where did all the people hide themselves before. Crowded streets, every corner turned to a small stage of music for any possible taste.
A glass of Vouvray to celebrate Fraser's birthday, the capoeira presentation on place Jean Jaures and then .. just followed the flow. Until the fresh-baked croissants at 7am to say goodbye to Jill.

young baffled tourists

Maasikad on valmis ja suvine vihm kastab Eestimaad .. mõnus.

Bourgueil

Damp wine cellar, Domaine de la Chevalerie, a half-an-hour drive along the Loire. If you don't say a word, the tipsy owner in gumboots would make you taste every single wine of his. One after another, bottles are opened, dating back the year I was born, and instead of describing the plentiful bouquet, he would rather picture the atmosphere and people best suiting for his Bourgueil.

the last 10 days

In order to leave the country I have to beg them to terminate the contract with Orange, I need to set a rendez-vous at Crédit Lyonnais and twice go to EDF in order to pay my last electricity bill.

barbecued duck and the washing day

The metropolitana in Torino is as brand-new that the stretch between Porta Susa and Porta Nueva is still under construction. Thus on the night of the 26th me, my enormous luggage and myself have to find a more modest way to change the stations.

one fine day

Irini treated herself...
and Claire and Fraser did have a good reason to laugh while watching me breaking.
