A beautiful little chalet style hotel as befits a classy European ski town.

I’ve been awake since 4 am. An hour of self loathing; followed by free form anxiety not otherwise specified until the alarm went. Horrid.

Left the apartment in Trento with no problems. We explained to the lady via WhatsApp that we could never get the coffee machine to work at all which was essentially true.

Awake at four am for an hour again, so very uninterested in rising and shining when Simon’s alarm went off at 8:30.

A stressful three hour drive today.

Last full day in Milan.

The medication I took for my gut issues worked well. I may never have a bowel motion again but that’s a small price to pay to enable me to get out and about and make the most of my time overseas.

I’m writing this in bed as I’ve had a recurrence of the gut issues that plagued me back in January. Maybe all that seafood didn’t agree with me?

Woke up at 3 and decided to follow the Trump v Harris US presidential debate on the Guardian website.

We’ve seen surprisingly varied weather in Sardinia.
