I am alive!

I'm back and a very belated Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all!

It has certainly been a long time between posts since the very slow internet in Malito soon turned into the non-existent internet. And also the fact that I was very busy going out and about when the weather permitted.

Yesterday I left Calabria and the bel ragazzo behind. He is soon off to spend half a winter in the Canary Islands while tomorrow I fly back to Melbourne, Australia (I am currently in Rome.) It as been 2 years since my last visit so a holiday there is a little over due.

Stay tuned as I promise to back track on my 2 months of Italian village life when I am in Australia as the internet there works very very well!

Bentornata e buon anno!

I'm coming to Melbourne during the Australia Day long w/e for the Australian Open, if you're free we could meet for a coffee!

Fammi sapere,

Hey Leanne

Welcome back to Melbourne. It may be sunny when you get here, it may not be, you know how Melbourne is. Looking forward to seeing all the photos I presume you will be posting with your improved internet speed.

Hi Lulu,
The bel ragazzo and I after a massive dinner went to Atila to the convent which had been converted into a disco. It was freezing cold! never again. i went there 2 years ago too but this time it was cold and full of children...

Ciao Lucio,
I would have loved to meet up for the long weekend but I am going to the beach an hour or so from Melbourne for a week. How long are you going to be in Melbourne for?

Hi Jewel,
I am glad the weather is not so hot just yet. 20 today which is good to ease me into it...but then I hear it is going to be 37 on Tuesday! Crazy stuff but then that is Melbourne for you.

Hi KimB,
I will miss the bel ragazzo but you are right, at least I am with family and friends and it is summer time!

Hi J,
Happy New Year to you too!

Hi Leanne

I'll be there from the 23rd afternoon until the 27th early morning. Let me know if you're in town!

Ciao

Lucio,
I will just miss you. I am heading to the beach Thursday if not Wednesday (I have nothing else to do!) and we will not be back until Monday night.
I'll be back one of these days, and from the sounds of it you will probably be here so we can have a coffee then! What a shame though.
