Bravo Italy – [VENICE to ROME] – Farewell

We are now back in our 1st-nite-hotel - Hotel Beethoven. The staff only remember Jo. *ROFL* We had been teasing her about being Italian man's cup of tea. There had been many "mature" & "very-matured" Italian man expressing their "love" for her.

Went to an internet place after settling down our luggages. Need to do some on-line check-in for our flights.

Farewell dinner was a quick one. Probably due to the stuffiness in the hotel. The air-con system for the whole hotel seemed to have spoiled, and wouldn't get repaired till July. *Faintz*

We all took group pictures with the help of the hotel staff. The poor fellow had to take so many using all our cameras. Perhaps that's the reason why the pics he took looked so blurry. Shaky hands due to fatigue I supposed. Even my image stabilizer didn't help.

Jo & myself decided to joined the others in the drinking session, while XJ & HJ went back to rest. Elise was rather annoyed after purchasing some wine, but was forbidden to drink in their rooms by the hotel staff. David too was annoyed at not able to get any ice as the hotel's ice-machine was spoiled too. They had to finished the wine in the lobby area before heading to another bar.

We chatted till 11++pm before it started to get chilly and headed back. There's plenty of farewell hugs before we left.
