Hello!

We arrived in Molfetta last night and I have really enjoyed myself since. We had a lovely meal in a restaurant I cannot recall the name of and then we were given some wine as a gift from the theatre owners. We were up early this morning to get breakfast before we arrived at the theatre at 8:30am.We had a lovely breakfast, I had a chocolate croissant, which was delicious. So much chocolate! Well done Italy! Then we went off to the theatre. During the first death, Romeo's death had such an effect on me that I decided to stab myself like I had never done before in all of the times of repeating the death scene. As I drove the knife into my stomach there was a loud cracking noise, which sounded like a bone had broken which got a few murmurs from the audience and a raised eyebrow from the technician (luckily it was just the prop knife that had broken, or maybe not so lucky for Laura who now has to search for a new prop knife, sorry!).

Anyhow after the show we went for drink I had a ... drum roll please ... a cappuccino. Now I am not usually partial to coffee but when in italy... I can manage it when taken with two sugars. Then we went and had a lovely lunch at malelingue (which translates as someone who speaks badly of someone else like two faced/bad gos sip) I am not sure why it was called that as the people there were lovely (or maybe that’s just one side to them!!!) anyway the meal included lovely appetizers which was ham and courgettes and then some appetizer which tasted like tuna but was not. Then we had beautiful mussels with a lovely tomato sauce and then seafood pasta!

As Mofetta is by the sea, fish is the speciality! Romeo however does not like seafood (bloody Montagues!) so he just had cheese on his pasta! Then pudding.... everyone got a coffee/ chocolate cake apart from me, I had a fruit salad and this seemed to raise a few eyebrows! Then my favourite part of the meal, as those who know me well would say, was the alcoholic beverage to finish it off. I tried a speciality of the south a lemon liquor, which was lovely. Since being in Italy I have learnt it is important not to drink alcoholic drinks in one go, even is they look like a shot, as this act will only brand you as an alcoholic! Then we went shopping, woo! We went to the outlet, which had very nice things but I was good and did not buy anything ( a bit boring hey!). Plan for the rest of the evening, head to a workshop and then to a bar. Italian word of the day: ragazza which means girl.

ciao!
