Bee was lucky enough to have her parents in the same hemisphere again – attending an archery event in Turin – a perfect excuse to duck over to Italy for the weekend... It was so wonderful to see Bee’s parents and grandparents again, who also flew in from Vienna. Now, to say that Bee just made it would be an understatement – yes there is a story...
So the alarm was set for 2.30am Friday morning. It failed to go off and Bee awoke at 4.30. STRESS! She had obviously missed her 3.30am bus to Stansted and now was on a race against the clock to make her 6.20am flight. A taxi to Liverpool Street, and the Stanstead express train – arrival at the airport at 6.00am. Stress, run, frantic, just made it to the gate when they were calling ‘Flight Closed’. 10 seconds later and it would have been all over..... Phew!
Anyways, now in Turin – lots of dinners out (pizza and pasta, red wine, Tiramisu, gelato, who can complain?). It was nice to take it easy for a few days and check out the sites – The Royal Palace, Cathedrals, Museums – nice city but nothing super special.
It was the company that made it very special...
