End of a long, hard day

Sandro, Jo, Alex and Sofia rocked up with not one but two metre-long pizzas! The two tables we had put together in the cafe were barely long enough.




They were sensational and I can believe they're the best outside Italy.




Sofia's leaving for Japan at 6:30 tomorrow morning so when we said goodbye, she and Jessye agreed to meet up in Kyoto and maybe Tokyo.

Back in the room, we finished the evening with Jessye tracking down her passport in Melbourne and then a game of up the river. Sophie and I came back to the Travelodge and Jessye's staying with Rosie. Rosie has been headache-free most of the day and it's hard to believe she's going to relive this past week. But if stoic is what it takes, then she'll sail through because she has that in bucketfuls along with an inspiring grace under pressure. She's to be ready by about 7:30am for surgery around 9:00.
