Italy

I am starting another series of anecdotes of my italy vacation i am currently on. TIs my last day, and I just discovered the internet terminal of the hotel, so i am going to finish at home.
this year I have a short vacation. not viositing 5 countries, no, only visiting 3: holland for IMUNA, switzerland, as a drive through and Italy, near Pisa where I am at this moment.
It was another one of those ad hoc situations. exactly one week ago my parents phoned this hotel they had found online and reserved a room for the night. we got packing, left and found ourselves 650 km furhter south that evening.
the hotel turned out pretty nice, nicer ythan those thing I have stayed in the last few years. no cockroaches like in macedonia or rusty bathtubs, no wood powered heating like in romania and no tiny room giving space for 3 beds and 3 beds only like in slovenia. Dont understand me wrong, I had absolutely nothing against all these hotels, but a nice one is a good change for once.
The little town Tirrenia we are in, is located between the port city of Livorno and Marina di Pisa, where the Arno river flows into the mediterranean sea. It feels like a tourist town, almost a linear settlement along the coastline, though i suppose it only is full of tourists in summer. thats not quite my favourite holiday situation, but it has a nice beach, clear water , sunny weather and gave me time to read my english assignments.
The day trips we took were to Pisa, Florence and today we are going to halt in milano, if we ever get out of here.
that leads me to a last point. my parents. its the last holiday i spent with them, and even though I like my parents and get along quite well with them, there are things that annoy me, the slowness my dad exhibits when he wants to leave the hotel, even to go to the beach, and simply the lack of hanging out with people my age. its awkward meeting people with parents at your back, even more so if you speak good 5 words of the language. but i am here for and with my parents after all and despite all the bitch fighting that occasionally arrises we get along better every day were here.
