Today is our last day here. Typing this just before I go and sleep. We had pineapple-rice for dinner. Parents were packing up just now. Came back up for dinner (internet is only downstairs) aft I saw the ppl that were manning the place having dinner.. Not polite to watch ppl have dinner haha. Mom burnt her hand just now… Ouch.

We decided to go to Cortina today. Drive was supposed to be around 53 mins. The route we took to get there was very nice :) We kept stopping to take photos. I saw the really blue lake from some lookout point. Think that feeds the one we saw on Monday. I videoed some parts of the journey, at some parts holding the camera out of the window not knowing where it was pointing at. The whole area is so nice, I figured tt whatever I filmed would be good right? Well I was right hahaha.. :)

On the way to cortina we had actually turned into the base area of Cinque Torri. The skies had been very clear. We took this took that and when we finally bought our tickets and were on our way up, the stupid cloud had to descend. Sigh… Dad just figured out we were not actually on Cinque Torri.  We were at nuvolau. Wth! The tickets were not cheap either. The ride up was quite long. When we reached the cloud was starting to descend. Let me repeat that more forcefully. WHEN WE REACHED THE !@#$ CLOUD STARTED TO DESCEND.

By the time we started to climb up the very high rock formation the cloud had totally descended. After much contemplation as were coming down, it started raining. Dad got completely soaked. All our pants got soaked. In fact, it more or less rained the whole day.

Sad day. The view would definitely have been good, I saw the view upwards. So the view down would HAVE BEEN EVEN BETTER!! Thats the second day in a row that the fog has totally blocked obliterated our view -.-  Maybe it has got to do with today being Friday the 13^th haha..

The fog/cloud is starting to distort my perception of nice scenery. We went to Cortina d’Ampezzo and even though its surrounded by mountains, nth could be seen because off.. YEAH THE FOG. -.-

I’m going a little overboard here but.. sigh.

Waited for the tourist office to open at 3.30(what type of tourist office open only at 3.30 o.O) and bought some groceries at this supermarket. They were selling fresh salmon in containers I think. Oh they are smart. The fruit is picked by the staff to prevent people from choosing only the good ones. Good for them terrible for us. But still, the fruit seemed to be of good quality. We bought some cakes there too, 10eu’s for 3 slices. Have to treat eu as sgd here if not we won’t buy much stuff.

Iain and Clare went for swim again. I don’t fancy going into a pool that has an extremely high concentration of chlorine. I went into the room and actually choked for a while. So I opened the window for a short bit. Dad tried the sauna yesterday. He is going crazy haha. He stayed inside a 85-90 deg room and he came out perspiring all over... I went in for a while and when he poured the water containing menthol over the coals It became so hard to breathe. I just walked back out. They have a sunbed and a Turkish bath thing here as well. Keep seeing it on hotel adverstiments.

I shall stop here. MS word says I’ve typed 673 words and counting. 677. No, 680. Augh I’m going to sleep. My standard of English has totally deteriorated. I did not even spell that word correctly. The spelling suggestions are all wrong. Sigh. Have to start reading more. I have stopped doing essays for a long time. Blogposts are actually one of the only ways I’m keeping my English alive. I even forgot the opposite for steep (gentle) on Tuesday. And I just spelt Tuesday with a small “t”. Oh dear…

I’m going to sleep. Bouna notte tutti :)
