What is it with fancy hotels and charging extra for internet. It is really not on. This should just be part of your price and even as a customer in a bar in a restaurant you should be able to log on without cost. I think there should be a campaign, it is okey to charge for internet if you are a 3 star hotel above it it should be included or else you lose a star! Yea!

At least 10 years younger. Not sure of your exact age, tho from Durham post it must be late 39's and you don't look it either. Must be good genes there. I've never before heard of writing as a means of staying young- cosmetic companies wouldn't be pleased!

You so rarely come across them in public loos (or bar/restaurant "bathrooms") in Italy that I now never expect to find them but I know they are a cause of major discontent amongst a lot of visitors. There was a very long thread on a website some months back on this precise same subject, I'll try and find the link. Rosemary, Italy IS art and culture and the best thing is, it's everywhere, from Rome to Florence to Milano to the smallest, most modest little village or hamlet there is always a masterpiece or three hanging on a wall or an exquisite church or palazzo that anywhere else in the world millions of people would cross a continent to visit. And the best thing is, local people never take even the most heavily damaged fresco for granted. Italy: there is simply nowhere else on earth like it... Loo seats and lack of.

ART - and CULTURE the Italians do it SO well and doesn't it feed the soul Helena ? You seem to have discovered that on this wonderful holiday of yours. I am so glad you have enjoyed Rome so much and seeing your parents has been a real treat for you all. I loved Rome and look forward to returning. Now it's Florence oh WOW, here come the Medici's and all the wonderful culture Florence has to offer, the Bargello, Medici chapel, Michelangelo's house, Santa Croce church and the tombs, the shopping ! You will have a great time. how long are you there for? ENJOY. Wow you have really had a fabulous time haven’t you. ART – and CULTURE the Italians do it SO well and doesn’t it feed the soul Helena ?
