OFFICIAL TITLE: " IL PESCE è BEN SLISCATO ??? OVVIOLO !!! "

first of all let me introduce you the five dwarves: (the -lo suffix is tipical of the dwarves in Italian)
Paololo
Edolo
Robertolo
Chicco (no need the suffix to get a dwarf)
and me, Carlolo (or sbagliolo, as you want)

it had been planned to start on friday short after lunch, but for various matters me Chicco and Edo arrived in Reggio
early in the morning (10.30) and picked up Paolo and Robby.
We leave at 11.30, proud of the fact that notwithstanding our Italianity we are in early....
right before the border it is my turn to drive.
after  some more than an hour we start joking and playing with handies.
I take part to the game.
I miss the connector to Basel.
We keep on joking and saying that we are getting used to that highway.
Someone confirms me the way too.
After 85 Km we found ourselves in a country panoramic road and we all realize in a while that something is wrong
It takes us other 70 Km, 3 or 4 lakes and a pass to find ourselves on the map
We get on the highway again 60 Km before Basel (2 and half hours, 200 km, half million of kiddings).
As we arrive in Muehacker we pick up Jutta and go to Oetisheim to have dinner (it is 10.30)
Steak, onions, potatoes and beer.   Life isn't so bad in fact.
At Jutta's we try Robby's cake:
taste is great, but I wonder I've never heard about such tasty concrete during my "Science and Tecnology
of Materials" course (perhaps that day I was at the comic shop.....)
Next morning we wake up late and spend the whole morning among friends, shopping, quarreling with the local bankomat
and a famous italian comedy movie that Jutta has in Italian ( cool ! ).
At four o'clock we leave for the SF with our battle equipment:

 - Personal identity card
 - Public health card
 - Money

Strassenfest is, as expected, great, good beer, good sandwiches, good beer, nice people, good beer,
lot of friends, and the beer is really good too.

Among the highlights during the festival:

 - The Bassanian ask us to draw something on the pavement with chalks and almost immediately we start drawing
dead-people-like shapes on the ground, in few minutes every child from 5 to 55 years wants to have his own one.

 - In the Pro-Zwo Jugend Zentrum works a girl named Heidi, which me and Chicco met last spring during Europax; Me,
Chicco, Paolo and Eugenio start singing as loud as possible one of the most stupid child-song which is called, of course, Heidi
and says things like "Heidi, Heidi, all the mountains smile to you, H. H. all the little goats says you ciao !".
She, poor thing starts getting of every color, and we keep on all the evening being greeted by persons which we do not know.

 - Many other things happens, we meet lots of friend, loose the counts of the beer we drink, me and Paolo nearly menace a poor
girl that has closed the bung-hole right before our arrival, we try to corrupt another one and we can have our last beer....
 
 

The day after I wake up and realize that Sonja has slept with us, later in the morning Julia, Leonie, Patricia and Cornelia come to visit us;
Edo starts a snoring session which last till midday, while the girls look at the pictures I prepare some tea which just me and Robby dare to drink...
after 2 or 3 cups we start chewing the tea bags and immediately our relations with the four nice german girls crash down.
we decide to take comfort with a kg of pasta with spicy tomato souce....

The back trip has no problems, and even if I drive it takes us just 7 hours to get home.

I just want to add some remarcable facts:

 - while you travel it is much better if you look at the direction, instead of saying bad words to the unpolite truck driver
or unpolite word to the female driver. expecially if you are the driver.

 - The Altemburger shwarzbier is simply one of the best beer I've ever drunk

 - I'm seriously thinking about opening a Kebab shop in Cavriago

 - I regret we had no chance to greet you all, both the Bassanian and the German ones
 
 

kisses
 

Carletto
