Pisa one minute, Milano the next

Thanks to everyone for the nice emails and comments! We are having lots of fun!

Sergio and I jumped into our brand new Peugeot in Rome, only 2 days ago, and hit the Roman streets on the wrong side (right side) of the road! We’ve been staying at the Pisan coast for 2 days and are about to drive to Milan to see some of the Giro d’italia. Here are some of the highlights so far:

• The old badly built building in Pisa
• Learning how to count to 10 in Italian while eating yummy gelati
• Discovering that the restaurant we thought was a pizzeria was a seafood restaurant (great if you like seafood!)…mussels, baby octopus, fresh sardine…blah. Antipasto will never be thought of the same again!
• Riding from Marina di Pisa to the leaning tower – motorists here rock! The roads are seriously crappy but still they go out of their way to NOT give us grief like Aussies do.
  
• Italian coffee is really good! (like Sergio’s)
• Floriana found out she still has a job…yay. It is still a bit crap though cos lots of my good work buddies won’t be there when I come back : (
• Figuring out what everything in the supermercato is…we have managed to cook pancakes and scrambled eggs for breakies!

Love Floriana and Sergio
