Day 9 Bellagio and Chill

So today we decided would be a down day, after we looked at the temp for the day and mid 30's were the order of the day. So 8:30 we had a nice breakfast outside the B&B before a few moments cleaning the cars, checking the oil and water and generally relaxing for a few hours, before the heat got to us and we then decided to head down to the lake for a swim in Lake Como.

Colling down was the order of the day, or looks like synchronised drowning.

Tracy and I then decided that we need to go and buy something, as her hand-bag

we bought here 15 years previous, finally broke and a replacement was well in order. But that did mean another trek over the hill and up the steps from the "Excorist" to get into town with a blistering 32 degree's. However, we werent the only looneys out this lunchtime, when we caught sight of 8 lads from the UK who must have been average age 19, must of been in the pub on Friday night in the UK and said "where should we go tomorrow?" and as quick as you could say "bob's your uncle" we walking down the same steps towards our sleepy area (no pubs down here gents!.

Meanwhile, Mike wanted to scare a few more of the natives by going in once again.

So a little rest and out to dinner at 6pm at the pizzeria on the top of the hill.

Ok, to add something to the holiday and to ensure we dont upset too many people, we now have "safe words!". This all started with Janet around 3 days ago and we decided that she would be "PINEAPPLE", followed by Helen and "STRAWBERRY".

Well the rest of us have felt a little left out, so tonight over dinner we decided to give each other some Safe Words!

MIKE will now been known as "BANANA"

TRACY will be "MRS CHRISTMAS - Obviously!"

STEVE was a partner to PINEAPPLE with GRAPEFRUIT

whilst Andy was (now i know Im going to spell this wrong!!) KUM QUOT
