MONSTER BLOG
(cheating here, lulling you into a fall sense of security, as it is in fact the same blog as the one above!!!)
Being late, yes; not being fed, also; but most insultingly, not having any G&T. Now, please, enlighten me as to how you can do a trans-national flight without a glass of G&T? It just does not make sense. It would be like having a melon with no seeds inside, or a television with no screen. It just cannot be. Especially if the ticket cost over 1000 euros, just to get from Italy to France.

Next time though, I’ll take AlItalia out of the equation, apero or not, as I never landed in Milan, and even if I had, I would have missed to connecting flight to Perugia anyway since we took off virtually two hours late. So, from Genoa, where we were re-routed to, I was rescued by a very very angry Guido who was being very very latin about the whole thing (that means he was going bananas, flapping arms in air, getting scorching hot under the collar, and pacing up and down the business isle screaming). He was going to drive back to Perugia and, having discovered the existence of a fellow passenger originally destined his way, kindly invited me to join.

By the time we got to the car rental desk, I was having serious second thoughts as Guido was adamant that he could get from Genoa to Perugia in under two hours – and that would be about 400Km… Hello Michael?! But AVIS does not rent Ferraris and I cannot remember any F1 drivers for Renault.

Yo. We made it back to Perugia by 1.30 am and ended up actually enjoying the trip until I found the airport locked, paramilitary everywhere, no drop box for the AVIS keys – but that, is another story…


Driving home.
