It's a while since I left a post, thought I would update on what's been happening!
I now have an overseas driver's licence - god help me!! No test, no need for any knowledge of the road rules, just get in the car and try to drive from the other side of the car on the other side of the road in a speed limit of 150 ks!! Should be interesting!
I have discovered that, althought the holiday season is over by the time I arrive in Italy, accommodation is still a bit 'iffy', so I've booked a few places - a lovely loft in Florence for a week, a beautiful B & B in Portofino with a favoloso balcony that I paid an extra 10 euro for so I can sit and check out the bella vista of the ocean, an apartment in Venice, a house in Tuscany, to name a few! It's all coming together and I'm now more excited that packing death!
Italiano lessons are going cosi-cosi "so - so". I have enough Italian to find accommodation, catch a train or bus, ask for coffee, tea or food in general, am able to greet people and can understand a lot of what I read, so from here, everything else is a bonus. Just remembering the fricken words would be a bonus!
Now, onwards and upwards, getting as much teaching work as I can so I can shop shop and maybe even do some shopping while I am there ... woo hoo! excited much???!!!!!!
