The moped trip is my dream. I can't drive but I think the moped test is fairly easy. Plus everyone rides them in Italy. I think it'd be the best way to experience the country. It would be silly of me just to go to one city and then back to another the following year when there's loads I need to visit (Rome, Milan, Florence, Turin, Verona, Naples, Venice and more) so a full summer trip seems the ideal! It's my Long Way Round on a really smaller scale.

David Jason is magic. You know you get those people with faces you want to slap? His I just want to touch. Especially now he's old. Just squish his cheeks together and pet him...
