When the most enjoyable part of your holiday has become the driving and the sleeping, you know you’ve got a problem.
Precipitation once again precipitated another precipitous obstacle for us today. It was raining when we woke up and still raining as we walked back to the hotel from dinner this evening.
Needless to say, this is not what we expected of Italy in May. Even the locals have been apologising: they don’t understand it, either.
We’ve nearly always had good luck with the weather, but not this time.
With nothing but rain forecast for the next five days at all of our upcoming destinations, it’s unclear how to proceed, especially when considering that three of those days are scheduled to be spent in nature, hiking.
Oddly enough, the children are in high spirits. It’s the adults who are short-tempered and fed up. There’s only so much coffee one can drink.
Still, we did, at least, have a nice bicerin and chocolate-tasting session this afternoon. Eloïse didn’t really like the bicerin, which makes me wonder if she can really be the product of Sarah’s and my genes, but she does still look like us, I suppose.
