Snowboarding / skiing in Iran is supposed to be brilliant. Not heard about dogging but I know they have separate ski lift queues for mean and women which must heighten the tension and sweeten the release

Aye there are loads of crazy shenanigans going on there behind closed doors apparently
 
Flying home tomorrow night from Johannesburg just in time for the game Thursday. Normally fly Virgin but have gone Air France tomorrow via Paris just so I can experience the A380....damn excited to try this big bird out...anyone flown on the double-decked sex aero before? If so, how was it?
 
Went around Soweto yesterday...very, very sobering. The Hector Peterson Museum in Orlando West was just something else
Beautiful country but still so many inequalities, but seemingly moving forward. Love working here.

In just over 6 weeks will be heading to Italy. Decided on Florence, Rome and then Naples/Sorrento to finish off. Never been before, so really looking forward to it.

Rome is fantastic !!!!!!!!!
Note... if you intend to visit the Vatican and take the tour, lots of people will recommend you go early. Don't !! Go about 1.30pm when the morning rush has died down and the queues are considerably shorter than the morning !!!

Hope you enjoy the flight mate. Never flown an Air France A380 but have been on Qantas, Emirates and Singapore Airlines ones. Seating config is different with each airline, generally economy is on the lower deck. Take-off and landing on the A380 is an experience, you wonder how something so big gets airborne. Feels surprisingly roomy onboard in spite of the 400+ passengers. I'm quite tall so do prefer the A380 over B787 / A340 on long flights, might just be a perception thing but I don't feel so cramped on the double-decker.

Il Santo Bevitore & Bar Santa Lucia in Venice,

John Martin, Mary's Pub & La Guinette Baladin in Jesolo,

Brewdog, Il Santo Bevitore & La Prosciutteria in Bologna.

Have got Budapest later in the year and have already checked out some bars for decent beer, but will go back to Italy next summer, probably start in Verona for a wee change.
