Yeah, they can put blindfolds on so they don't have to watch it.

My lady and I are off to Italy for a month just after Easter - Rome, Sorrento, Assisi, Florence, Venice, Lake Como as bases for several days and day trips to places like Pompei Pisa etc. From Como it is a couple of days in Milan then fly home.

I wish you guys all the best for the weekend, and and the next few weeks, as I don't expect to have much spare time while travelling (and wifi availabilty may vary from place to place). I guess I may not log in and catch up when we get back.

Enjoy Psyber, sounds great. When you're sussing out Pompeii, don't forget to check out Herculaneum, which is nearby (its a but further along the train line to Naples). Its a smaller excavation site than Pompeii and IMHO more enjoyable because its more accessible. You could spend a week walking around Pompeii, it's almost too big to take in. The Naples train is a bit dodgy too, keep your wallet close.

Also, Sorrento is beautiful to look at but is chock full of European tourists, and is really a place that seems designed for tourists (when we were there there was a pub screening the AFL grand final!) which makes it feel about as Italian as a trip to Parabanks. If you like seafood check out the Ristorante Bagni Delfino down on the water. Great food, lovely views over the Bay of Naples with Mount Vesuvius watching over you in the background.

When in Rome, try a restaurant called ADHOC, great food, great wine, your lady will appreciate it. Another is Osteria Quarantaquattro, ask for Sergio.
Great hotel is Boscolo Exedra on Piazza Del Repubblica.
If you are planning to go to the Vatican / Sistene Chaplle etc, get the hotel to arrange a private guide. Costs just a few €’s more but definitely worth it to avoid the crazy mad rush.

Depending on time in Sorrento, get the bus near Piazza Tasso to Amalfi which takes you along the Amalfi drive, spectacular views and only a few euro’s each. Make sue you sit on the right hand side facing forward for the best views.
Don’t get a tour to Capri, just go down to Marina Piccola and get the ferry across. When you get there, there’s the funicular, you need to get a ticket but it will get you one ride up and down to Capri and a bus ride to Anacapri and back.
Apologies if you’ve done all this before.

Ps Mags is right, Herculaneum is better than Pompeii, get off at Ercolano and it is literally 2 or 3 mins walk down the road from the station.

Also when in Rome check out La Prosciutteria for a bite of lunch of dinner, near the Trevi Fountain. I think its gets pretty packed for dinner, so lunch might be a better bet. Just be careful, it says it opens at 11 but when we rocked up at 11 they were still getting their shit together, didn't let us in until about 11:20! Anyway, check the reviews, it's pretty well regarded.

The Australian Gridiron League kicking off on the 14th.

Not sure if I've mentioned it before, but I play.

First game in Melbourne Vs Victoria. The squads just been officially named on the Gridiron SA Facebook page. (HH3 never in doubt ;) )

A friend of mine is competing in the upcoming Australian Women's Gridiron Championships in Perth, in May. To say she is keen is an understatement!

I think SA are combining with NSW to form a squad, but great to see the women growing the game.

Good luck to the Sharks, mate!

Is she on the SA or NSW side of things? I help out the women here a fair bit.
