1. Eggplant for breakfast. It's a new concept and I like it. The buffet at the airport hotel had every breakfast food you can think of and more. Except kimchi.
2. I thought I was stranded in the middle of nowhere, but I went for a walk and discovered the airport hotel is on the edge of Fiumicino, Rome's port town. It reminds me a little of Brighton and of Newcastle, warm associations to comfort me in this strange sense of limbo.
3. Spending hours sitting on the pier then on the beach reading. It was quite eerie - quiet except for planes taking off and the strong winds, and the bright grey sky was exactly the same colour as the ocean. As the sky darkened the water turned green and I left just in time to miss the rain.
