Twice in two days I’ve been able to have (small) conversations in Italian, even though I’m in India. Yesterday at the rooftop “mediterraneo restaurant”, which is by the way a really weird experience. Starting with the “Duke Nukem” approach through a closed and shuttered twisty maze of corridor of shops in a tower block to a non descript lift. Dan … even your Mum recognised the game play .. any moment we’d need to RPG the octobrain as the lift opens. The lift takes you to a roof top with big satellite dishes and a backdrop of a night time cityscape… classic Duke Nuke .. but now you’d switch to the chain gun eh Dan ?
Once we got to the restaurant it took on a surreal ambience as the beer came in tea pots and I was able to order food in Italian. Crazy !!!
Today I’m sitting in the late afternoon sun writing this blog as two ladies at the next table chatter away also in Italian. I’ve spoken to them it’s their third time here.
Interesting to note that all our rooms have a “Roger flap” pictures perhaps to follow.
