Dinner is up to you guys, if your hungry after all we've done today. I recommend the Panini Toscani or if you just want a lighter fare the Montecristo has the typical bar fare of meats and cheese platters.

We have to be on the train at 8 am, a two hour ride to Venice


The tottering coloured buildings shuffling up the hillside are stunning. I see the light dart in and out of the closeted medieval cobbled streets, like a pursued lover. A dark robed man brushes my shoulder, as I turn he seems to half smile,a mid way emotion undecided. I dart my eyes around his face looking for clues, he looms in, his breath hot on my cheek.' You will turn seven.' Oh no, I thought,I am much older than that. My skin must look good in this light. As fast as he arrived, he leaves.

At the beach I sink my mind and toes in to its texture and flow forward into the cool blue darting brightness and sparkles ensue. I lay back and wonder, what is to come.

Then WakeUpandLive shoots over erratically on the jet ski. I think as I observe the wobbly trajectory,I shall drive. 'Hey, my turn!' We motor off in the distance,until a sharp turn hurls my passenger off in a most comedic manner. I stifle my laughter until I know she hasn't hurt herself or the surprised dolphin!

I get back and sink down to sleep, to dream of a dream city I've always wanted to see
