Italy goes H20 Less.

Yes, it had to happen in May, 2007. After all these years of not really happening, it had to be NOW!!
Italy has declared emergency nationwide (especially in the North) after facing severe drought.

And to think the only free thing in Italy was Water and now even that is gone. So goes that bemused smile on my face that held promises of beauty in Florence and Rome.
Will get around anyhow.

And chucked out Athens for sure now and put in Barcelona in the picture after a telephone conversation. Sounds neater, cleaner, and way more healthier, and certainly way less time consuming than random ferry taking halfway across the continent to be simply content with the Acropolis, which anyhow seems so similar to Paris's Pantheon anyhow!! Except that its on a hill. And Rome, I realized has seven hills. Not that I didn't know but Lonely Planet confirmed.

And Lonely Planet offers shit on a shoestring budget. The cheapest food they recommend is INR 600 at least. And accommodations start at like INR 900. Fucking liars. I want my INR 1300 back.
