However, what happens when you continue the romance at home, and you have to deal with the added distractions of going to work, wearing cardigans and seeing friends and family? We decided to find out How long was your holiday - and how much time did you have together before you had to fly home? I was there for two weeks and Tindaro was there for one. We met up every day until he left. I was reading a book, sitting on a bench overlooking the beach, and he walked past with his friend.
He was sunbathing on the beach as Italians do! He saw me go past and waved; I don't know why, but I decided to do a sarcastic wave back. At this point, he jumped up and ran over to me, frantically putting on a t-shirt and trying to speak to me in Italian, which I didn't understand.
He muddled a sentence together asking if I was going out that night, but I kind of brushed him off. I could see from the start that he was a very sweet-natured guy, and that's what really pulled me in. But after spending time together we really got on together. We hung out in the day, then we went out in the evening with my sister and his friends.
We saw each other every day but it was pretty relaxed. The biggest tricky spot was the fact that he spoke barely any English and I spoke zero Italian! That was a massive hurdle to get over, now, we say we can't believe how we actually used to communicate with each other. I speak Italian and he speaks English now.
He was there with a few friends and I was visiting family and still had another week to spend with them, so there wasn't any pressure from family or friends to spend my time with them.
