When we left we gave ourselves a budget & when that was spent we would either have to get a job or go home. We had spent our budget some time ago but now was the time to make some decisions.
We knew it was pretty unlikely to find a job here in Italy, but we quickly ruled out even looking. It’s just to dam hot. The only real opportunity open to us is teaching English, that would mean being in a city & we don’t really want to live in a big hot city. So we had to decide weather to go back home to England & try to settle down in to some form of normality or carry on traveling. We’d all but decided on the former & plans were being made of where to live & what to do. Then, out of the blue, an old friend who I hadn’t spoken to in a while called up on Skype. We had a good old catch up & we were both slapping each other’s backs about how good each others life was at the moment when he suggested we go over to his place. He was on an 8-week break from work &, with the family, had travelled north to help out the in-laws. This meant their place in the city was free & we were welcome to stay there for a while. Fate, it seems, choose where we were to go to next, so in a little under 2 weeks we fly of to Stockholm. Unlike Italy, a Swedish summer is bearable & unlike Italy almost everbody speaks English. This should make finding a job a little easier & maybe, just maybe, we can escape reality just a little bit longer.
But whilst we’re here I want to give a massive thank you to our lovely Swedish friends. Thanks Buddy & see you soon.
