03/07 Happy days

I’ve had my fair share of frustrations this month, again dealing with bureaucratic bull. The English have solidified the new law that South African’s need a visa to step on their soil. And in true governmental fashion, just to make it more fun, the only place in Italy where you can apply for one is in Rome! Ooola Madonna! This month, on the school outings list, we took ‘Obi One’ a 57’ cat for a sail and visited some workshops and stuff. Mostly not uber exciting but I must say I was very impressed with the design studio of Nuvolari-Lenard. There have been few big calendar events but this month has been massive on the personal front! I decided to actively challenge myself. I took on a project for school that I disliked on principle, a little motorboat for Dubai. Also, I chose to work with people I didn’t think I’d get along with. And you know what, it’s going great! LeeJ came to visit. Just like in the movies. He literally rocked up on my doorstep, not holding a bunch of flowers but sea...

23/04 Mein Gott

(my God, my God. You are in heaven, we are in grotto.) I spent the Easter weekend in Chiavenna. A beautiful little town in the mountains, the Alps to be specific. It’s Luca’s home town. We went to visit his parents, who don’t speak a word of English. It was great, Luca reluctantly played translator as his mom and I formed and alliance against unruly boys. Haha. Although I am fully aware of the ‘awesomness’ of living in Venice, my soul has been taking strain. Chiavenna was just the dose I needed to recharge and change my perspective. It’s nestled in this lush valley with just enough urban so as not to feel like you’re stuck in rural nowhere. The minute I got off the train (from Milan) I new something was different here. Something agreed with me and I felt fantastic! I also had the opportunity to appreciate why all the fuss about the Italian Motto Grazzi. This fire engine red beast is Luca’s baby and he jumps at any chance to play. As result I had no choice but to hop on the back of th...

13/02 Where's wally?

Much has happened since I last wrote. Unfortunately reading about it all is probably as exciting as the thousands of burocrat bullshit queues I’ve stood in whilst not writing. For those still a bit confused as to where I am, how and why, this is the ‘Highlights’ package. Last year, or at least the year before that a hurricane took out the Italian consulate in Freeport, Bahamas. Most inconvenient for me as I was trying to get to Italy. Why? I had been accepted to study Yacht Design in Venice. Yay. The Miami office said no problem, they could do the visa for me in 2 weeks but I’ll have to hand in my passport… ie. stuck in Miami for 2 weeks. Not my favourite city , so no. Called London, they too said no problem. So I figured, it was on my way and I may as well pop in and visit an old friend, Jason. London was not exactly a ton of fun when freezing and on a budget. But it was good to see Jase. After a week in LDN I find out no, they can’t help. Bugger this for a joke, I’m going hom...
