Wed 10th Nov.....A funny old day !!

I wasn't going to post a blog entry for yesterday as we just pottered about and revisited the port we went to on Sunday, however...........

My boy woke up with toothache, it had been a little niggle the day before, which developed into a 4 x 4 ibuprofen day !
There we were driving along the "highway" and there is a roadside random police (carabinieri not the tourist ones) check point and of course we were flagged down. We were not about to say no as one of the guys had a machine gun !! After checking my driving license, I'm surprised with the convict photo they allowed us to continue our journey !
We tried and failed to get money from a couple of ATMs, luckily we still have the card!

I was in email contact during the evening with the son of the owner of our apartment who lives in Milan and speaks very good English to find out about local dentists. It was either that or get flight home ! Bless them Mamma has organised an appointment today with their dentist for 4.30 in the next town.

A funny old day !!!!!

  1. He just wants some sympathy from a nice Italian female dentist - I'm sure Mamma could lend you a pair of pliers and you could do the job yourself. if he choked down a good quantity of Valpollicella he'd be fine! Seriously, not good, hope he gets some attention and the visa card takes the strain. Look after him!
