<Center><font color=blue><b>PACK up again...take a City Bus to reach Rome's outskirt (downtown)...the easiest way to get a free lift to North. In the bus counter a little bit funny scenario......I'm asking the Bus's driver cum Conductor to drop me at the Rome's downtown route to Milan. He give me a big shock, replied in Italiano ask me to get down from the bus and get a Coach. This conversation just like Duck talking to Turkey. I told him, that I'm directed by local city Police to get this bus...assuming must be true. Lastly consider lucky, someone in the bus who can speak a little bit English, explain to the Bus' driver the actual situation. The Bus's driver burst into laugh !!
<BR>
Through my new "interpretor" , I understand that our Bus's driver confuse, he thought that I wanna go to MILAN by this City bus...yeah, sometime language trouble make you in trouble too.</font>
<BR>
<Center><font color=green><b>Nearly half a day standing at "Agip" Gas Station waiting a free lift....smile, smile, smile until tired. Get a lift just a short distance to Perugia...no problem, as long I'm moving from this Gas Station consider okay. Next day from Perugia to Florence are so easy...thinking, might be yesterday smile were not "sweet enough" .
<BR>
<Center>At Florence meeting a young couple from Germany heading home from their vacation. Driving a small car Renault "Ugly Duck" , we are rotating and exchange driving amongst 3 of us. Untill reaching Milano, they drop me at Train Terminal, the time to say thank you and wish each other good bye. I remembered you Philip....you are real nice guy...if you read this Journey log, please contact me.</font>
