Wow! Lecce is such a beautiful place! We only arrived last night and already I have fallen in love with this place. The buildings are magnificent! We arrived last night from Molfetta which was lovely. Our last night there was a bit of a late one. We started dinner at midnight and didn't leave the restaurant until 2am. Just before trying to leave for the first time, we were called back in again to have a grappa before we left!

The next morning was quite hard to wake up. The journey from Molfetta to Lecce is a bit of a tired blur to be honest. We got to Lecce around 4pm. The accommodation once again is lovely; I am staying in what used to be an old church. It is very beautiful although we only have one bed while the two boys have 6 beds between them!!! Maybe Mercutio needs a different bed for each of the characters??? Anyhow the show nearly did not happen today due an incident in the restaurant on the previous night. The meal there was delicious, and before paying the bill I decided to go to the toilet. You don't need to know the details in the toilet, but as I went to leave the toilet, I could not open the door. I pulled and pushed to get the door open but it wouldn't budge!! I did not even have my mobile on me to call the others to help me. I started knocking on the door to get someone’s attention... no answer. I looked at my watch it was 8:30pm, I knew I had a show in the morning and really hoped that I would be rescued. 'Romeo? Romeo??' ... no answer, bloody Montague’s! He can climb into the Capulet garden no problem when he’s looking for some fun, but when I’m in danger he cannot even get me out of a toilet! Looks like I had to try and find someone else to rescue me... now my italian is not great, and I could not remember the word for help, all I could say was ciao which is ‘hello/bye’! So there I was, Juliet stuck in the bathroom, knocking on the door shouting ‘Ciao’ like a mad woman! Needless to say it is not my proudes t moment! Luckily after what seemed like 20 minutes of shouting ciao and knocking I heard a familiar voice say 'Juliet???' , it was Mercutio, thank goodness! Mercutio said 'are you ok?', he sounded a bit concerned for me , as if he thought I just sat on the toilet saying ‘Ciao’ to myself!!! I told him I was stuck, after some time of Mecutio pulling the door from the outside and me pushing it I got out! Hooray!!! word of the day 'aiuto', it is a good one to know!!!
