Italian kai


Started the day off with brunch at The Maranui Surf Club Cafe , then followed with a stroal around the Italian Food Festavil down by the water front in Wellington, didnt try much food but did purchase some Italian beer and got some free Vespa mints :-) the guy at the Vespa stand knew my scooter as its pretty famous around Wellington for its high mileage, 16,931 K's so far since I got it new last April. Also fixed my cuckoo clock which is been out of action for the last 2 years, so its happily tick tocking away with the occasional cuckoo. Just spending the afternoon chillaxing listening to some lazy fat dub on Radio Active

In Italy for thirty years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, bloodshed - but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love, 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock. So long, Holly.

That quote is wrong as the Cuckoo Clock came from Schönwald, Germany.
