Back in Italy

Wednesday, August 20th, 2008

After 36 hours from door to door, we arrived back home yesterday afternoon. The trip went fairly well, apart from Daniele vomiting a bit just after taking off from Singapore (due to a virus he already had) and the video on demand non working for a long time on the Singapore-Europe leg (which made it harder to keep Stefania – as well as her parents – amused). Stefania went wild over all her toys which she was reacquainted with when we returned – she would get excited about one, play with it for 5 minutes, then see another and get excited about that, and so on. I might take a while to adjust to being back: when I went shopping to get some provisions, I managed to drive on the wrong side of the road, speak to someone in English, and forget my card’s PIN number when I tried to pay.

Now we can have a bit of a rest, after being very busy the last few months, although there are quite a few bureaucratic and other things we have to do as well. Then at the beginning of September it is back to work for Pinuccia and me, and school for Stefania.
