Words can't describe how angry this makes me. The arrested a Senator in his home state for trying to start a dialogue.
Jesus Christ. Maybe this trip to Italy tomorrow should be the start of a permanent vacation from this lunacy.
Leaving tomorrow but not without incident.
I received this in my inbox this morning.
I guess they found ordinance from WWII.
So, a simple travel day on Sunday became complicated. The new train will arrive after the rental car agency closes which would strand us in Bolzano. We are now doing a rental car in Milan with about a 4 hour drive to Ortisei. The drive will be through the northern Italian countryside and the southern portion of the Dolomites so it's not a terrible change but it was still a hassle to get refunds, rebook cars from a different airport etc. Sunday will be an adventure.
Hotel Secreto has a rooftop bar now? My, how things have changed. We always stayed there and loved the hotel and staff. Sadly, the staff we knew and loved were victims of COVID. Not the sickness, but the loess of business during that time.
Cal's sadly closed so that's out. Great food there.
Iron Shore Grill was very good when I was there. The zip lining is also legit.
All the way at the eastern end of the island is La Sirena which is the diviest of dive bars.
Avoid Coxen Hole like the plague. It's a hell hole.
Down by Punta Sur? The Joint is just around the corner.
Breakfast mojitos!!
It's been quite a few years but a taxi ride used to be $5 anywhere on the island. Eat at Bastos!
Italy next Friday. I'll be in Ortisei (Dolomites) and then Bologna with side trips to Modena and Parma. Pleny of old world wine will go down the hatch.
