Saturday, May 7

Bart up far too early (before 9am), putting pressure on me to wake up as well. Refused somewhat till it was at least past 9, got dressed, got packed and took a long tram, tube and bus-ride back towards the airport, where we were supposed to pick up our car.

This turned out to be a brand new ford Ka, which is a somewhat small car but fortunately it does fit all our luggate and the two of us nicely. Not too many problems with Italian traffic, which meant that after some shopping (purchased a barbecue) and a visit to Viterbo (a really cool medieval town) , we eventually rocked up in Bolseno, where we pitched Bart's tent on the side of a lake.

Spent the night barbecueing with shitty coals (almost all small dusty ones) and read books, while drinking wine from coffee mugs.
