    So find somewhere quick to eat as some people still have to pack ready to leave early on Friday morning to start their next stage of their holiday. So where to eat how about an entirely empty restaurant to be greeted by a host who was unbelievably pleased to see us (you can even catch us on Facebook at Il Matto). So now its goodbye to Greg, Patty, JoAnne, Marilyn, Jill and Tim as they all head to Venice for a weeks cruise. 😥🚢👋👋En savoir plus
