The first bit of Italy was Pontremoli which was full of children and ice cream, so delicious and so so sun-burny-hot
I almost burnt my tongue and when we tried to go to the seaside there was no
room in the sea and then when we did manage to sardine ourselves into
the water between all the shiny hologram-and-tinfoil swimwear the
children cried because their bottoms got itchy-salty so we had to squeeze
our way out of the water and walk like egyptians along the sand among people
WHO WEAR HIGH HEELS ON THE BEACH and stand in line to use the solitary
shower.
the best ice cream that day was chocolate
During my Pontremoli stay we visited BIG BEN PIZZA an establishment that handed out extravagant amounts of Doritos to go with
our fizzy drinks while we waited for the too-much-amount of food that gets
ordered by people who are too hungry to think sensibly
the best ice cream that day was blackberry and peach
