When in Rome.....

When in Rome, do as the Roman's! And that's what we did. We had loads of ice-cream..walked on the roads, saw all the monuments, genuflected in basilicas, Drank water from the fountains, ate amazing pizza, but we are still on a "outstanding tiramisu" hunt. Other than a fantastic family run restaurant in Rome, we have not had good tiramisu and even surprisingly for that matter,soft melting buffalo mozzarella. Winner's name will Be updated!
We are now in the Tuscany coast. Till we left we did no know where we were going. Nope! Its not the adventurous spirit. Not at all! Thing is, while I was looking up the Tuscanny coast, I could not make out head or tail, rather coast or vineyard. So I decided to go book in a rather absurd way. I started hunting for good hotels, bang on the sea side,trying to stay away from busy touristy resorts. We found a nice place, booked it, and me having my memory, promptly forgot the name of the coast and town. Now we had a Li in the end of our address. What and where, pray is Li? So finally to madhur,s exasperation we had to call the resort in Li and feed all the pertinent details in our navi unit.
And arrive we did. Much to kanak's disgust.... To windy Coastal winds. We stepped into the sea for a feeler. Jaysus! It was the water of frozen, just melted Canadian seas! The faaaaat man, manning the beach towel stand, kept saying Si, Si, to our every question of will it be warm? Is it going to be cold tomorrow? Will the wind go down? Will the wind stay this way? After a non stop "Si" session we realised we have to play dumb charades. So Kanak acted like she was frozen. Tanay like he wants to get warm. Me like I want to swim with Tanay who is warm. Madhur like he Does NOT want to swim with Kanak.
AAAAh. Finally it dawned on fat Italian man, that will the weather be warm enough to swim in tomorrow. "Si", he said. "Si, Si".
