The Benchmark

In the summer of 2006 I went to Italy with my mate Matt, we had taken the flight from John Lennon Airport in Liverpool to the Italian city of Milan. From there we had taken a bus to the train station when we had got to the station we were epically hungry since it was 10pm. The train would leave in 20 minutes. So we sent off matt’s dad to find some food. Matt’s dad had taken the tickets with him so as we were waiting the Italian train conductor got mad at us because he had thought we were free loading on the train. It was a heated 10 minute standoff. Till matt’s dad had returned with the tickets and food and the train was on the way. About one and a half hours later we had gotten to Lake Garden in the town of Desenzano at about midnight. The change from Ellesmere Port was amazing.
