Journeys can be funny things. Like, how come it takes just as long to drive 40 miles from Naples airport as it does to fly 1200 miles to Naples in the first place? Well it turns out that the road round Naples makes the one used in The Italian Job look like a 4 lane highway on a straight, flat road, that's why!
Don't ever try driving round here; it's totally crazy.  Coaches can't get round the hairpin bends unless the traffic coming the other way stops to let them use the whole road. And nobody stops! Then you get 2 coaches meeting each other. The result is impasse on the bypass! It also turns out today was far busier than normal as it was a bank olliday said they say round here.

Anyway we were so late they kept the dining room open for us.  We have our own table for the week.  So there were 3 courses.  There are 4 choices of starter and 4 for the main course so I've decided to be adventurous and try different things.  I thought I'd try the seafood starter but, first lesson I have learned is that linguine seems to be some sort of pasta, it's not a fish it turns out!  Anyway it was very nice.  Then I thought I'd try veal as I'd never tried it before. But I might have! You remember in Rome last year we had a set meal as part of a tour we went on and the main course just said meat with potatoes.  I had both mine and mum's meat which was nice but I didn't know what it was.  Well it seems it may very well have been veal.  We also said some mushed up, dense green vegetation with it.  It might have been spinach or kale?
But the killer was you don't order a sweet; it's all set out on a table and you just help yourself😊. I had profiteroles and some nice cake stuff with strawberries and kiwis on it.  There were about 4 other gorgeous looking sweets that I didn't like to try all at once.  But suffice to say it's going to be a calorie rich week.  I'll have to ask C&G to put the wedding back a month to give me time to burn off the weight I look set to gain this week!
A final thought for the day.  It seems all Italian women are called Sarah! If you go out in the evening everybody greets you by saying buonoserra!
