Petty theft as we type....

We intended this to be a nice long blog after the horrific shortness of the last, and yet this, my friends, is not to be. The reason being that we are currently getting RIPPED OFF FROM UNDER OUR VERY NOSES at the cost of using the internet.... (I am starting to develop the opinion that the internet should be free and available to all like tap water and public toilets.)

Although the actual cost of internet use per minute is less than, say, Dubrovnik (which was true daylight robbery), our problem with Italy is the speed; or should I say lack of. I am going to have to press "publish post" a good five minutes before my time is up simply to ensure the post's success.

As I currently have six minutes and 4 seconds (3...2...) left, and counting - as you can see - it's nearly time to sign off. However, we both wish to point out that although the last few blogs have been slightly moany, we are actually having an amazing time in Italy and are becoming increasingly depressed at our impending return to the wet, windy, cold, sarcastic UK. The bitterness of our blogs might have something to do with the fact that in the last week we have seen the price of beer rise from 80p per litre (Prague) to £11 (Venice)... bastards!
