Of course you passed.  ;D  And it was only easy because you studied. I barely studied so I didn’t find it that easy.  ;)

So we’ve checked into our Air BnB for one night in Bellagio.  They’ve shut down the piazza we are in for a big party in the square tonight.  All well and good BUT, we are now trapped and can’t leave.  And I’m not sure my kids will be able to sleep...  and what if they haven’t cleared the stage and sh*t by morning when we need to get out of here....  we’ve paid a fortune to see the Last Supper in Milan tomorrow.   ::)

Here’s to hoping the kids sleep (and me and my husband), we enjoy the authentic Italian party, and we still see the fresco tomorrow!

Oh no! Can you not walk through or around he piazza at all?? Can you go to the party? Might just be a general festival you could check out vs closed private party?

Hopefully it’ll all be hauled away before you even wake up tomorrow!

It would be quite a hike to the town centre.  And completely uphill on the way back. 

Yes, we can definitely attend the party.  Just a big street festival.  I promise I’m not a killjoy.  Just wish we had known.

No I totally get it sucks :( especially when you aren’t expecting it. Hopefully you at least can enjoy the festival a bit! And that it’s not too hard for the kids to fall asleep

Just a shame I’m not a beer drinker.  PB and Albatross would be in heaven.  The pub is famous for their craft ales.  Look at the amount of kegs they’ve brought out, ready to go.  (Against the grey building under the brown shutters).

She “had no idea”.  I will be requesting a refund.  This is NOT what was described and we haven’t been able to go into town as a result of the road closure (our car is on the wrong side).

I hope she’ll give the refund with no arguing.

I’m also hoping to slip downstairs,  if they are selling Tiramisu, I may be able to forgive a LOT!
