I don't know if I'll be able to find the right words to describe this trip.
First I would like to share what I had learnt during our journey.
Most of all, I changed the energy around me. I feel more light and looking more towards the future. I understood, that I tend to worry too much about things that do not exist or that should not make me worry this much. I am scared at times. I need to trust the process of life more. I need to feel, that I was not left alone. There is something on the other side, that watches over me and helping. I need to keep my faith in the universe. I don't have to manage all by myself, on my own. I can ask for support. I have the right to do it. I am loved.
I also learnt, that sometimes things could turn out to be great. If you believe in it, you can become lucky.
So much can change if you choose to think positive like a strong person. Everything can change in a few days.
Here is one of the pictures I took, and I will begin to describe this wonderful and interesting trip.
We left on 16th Sunday morning around 10 AM. I felt a bit tired from the beginning. He packed the bags (that I have later regretted because we missed a couple of things) and I selected the clothes. I took hundreds of pictures from the car on the way there and painted my nails into orange colour. He took a special way on the coast line that was slightly longer but we could drive our way through serpentines and mountains next to the panoramic view of the blue sea. This sea was the Tyrrhenian Sea. As we were passing by one village to another, my eyes caught several old castles built on the mountains' tops. South Italy is full of history. It is a mystical, enigmatic and curious place for me. I'm sure it's overflowing with magic spells, alchemy and legends that simple agricultural working people were telling each other by the fire from one generation to another. It makes me want to go into the middle of it's mysterious fog, to see pictures inside, coming from the far past. Children running through the grape fields, girls sewing beautiful flower patterns into cloth napkins, working people getting up in the morning before the sunrise to look after the land that will appreciate their effort by providing food on the table, bread and vegetables.
But let me to continue with our trip. I was feeling free and careless while he drove the car, putting my legs up on the dashboard and marvelling at the green scenery. It was such a summer feeling. However, just when we started to approach the area, we felt the wind getting stronger and saw the storm coming and above us the sky was extending in shades of dark grey colours.
There were pools on the road made up from rainwater and as we drove through them on high speed they obediently spreaded two ways arching up high.
The city seemed to be cold and abandoned by people, at the closed fun park I even noticed to Him 'It looks like a ghost town'.
We went to the place where the party was supposed to be started in the evening and here we were told by a rude woman, that it was cancelled and postponed for the following day, Monday.
It was very disappointing to hear this. We had a plan and now it vanished. We both thought about returning home, but I didn't want to give up on this trip. Not immediately at least, without even trying. We walked through the place to the beach that was full of colourful round stones, I picked a green one and he picked something else. It was a plastic shiny golden anchor. He gave it to me. I knew it has a meaning but now I found some interpretation for the symbolism it may represent, by Joseph "Joe" Panek:

I suggested him to look around for accommodation so we can stay for one more day. It seemed to be an impossible task to accomplish, as days before we were searching for a hotel or Bed&Breakfast room and either everything was full, either the prices were just way too high so we could not afford it. What is more, we were in the middle of high season plus the national celebration of summer and St Mary.
I've done something I have not done for the time I can remember. I asked the angels to help us. I wanted to apply the technique I read about from this little book about becoming magic. I wanted to test it of it works, if I can rely on it.
The first two-three places we went to ask were fully packed with people (even though no one was outdoors in the town) or the prices was just unacceptable. The third place we found from the backway. We went through it garden and waited in the lobby for the receptionist. It was also fully booked. We went out from the front and found ourselves on the main road. It had a walking pavement made of bricks and surrounded by trees from both sides. We say a hotel on the other side so we crossed the road. I like the place from the first sight. I asked to stay there. There was something calming about it and it had a beautiful grape garden. He spoke to the chubby receptionist that seemed to be a decent guy and turn to me explaining, that this hotel was full but there is a bungalow that we could take if we liked it. Show us then we asked. It was a house separated in the backyard. It had a double bed and a shower. It was affordable. We could not believe our luck. I was above the ground of happiness. We took it for one night. The receptionist guy told us to come back in one hour as it was not cleaned after the last guests, so we did. We went for ice cream and coffee on the main road.
Here we met a couple who asked us for light, the girl apparently worked in the beach club and gave us more information about the forthcoming party (a coincidence again).
We went back to the bungalow, had a shower and change clothes, took the camera and went to the beach. Here, I saw one of the most beautiful and spectacular views in my entire life. It was a sunset made in heaven. It was so surreal, the colours were so bright and perfect, like it was a painting. The sea was so strong and the waves were so high, kneeling far into the land. I felt utterly lucky to experience it. I was happy with my life, where I was and where I wanted to be in the future. It all, all the happenings of my life seemed to correlate to bring me back to this place where I was right in that moment. I loved everything around me, I became love.
We stayed for some time then went back for dinner in the hotel. It was alright. After dinner we walked into a cocktail bar, where I had way too many Alexander's. He was telling me about his past.
It was very sensual, fulfilled by our lust.
I had a good sleep, though felt a presence in the room we slept in. I made a kind deal with it and it let us alone for the night. However I woke up around 5 but shortly fell asleep with Him again holding each other tight.
We were waken up next morning by some dog's barking and snoring. The timing was good for breakfast. We later met with him, Dzimba the light grey pug. It was running around in the backyard making funny noises. We gave him some chocolate croissant leftover from breakfast and he left his poo next to our doorway in return.
As the breakfast was awful at the hotel we went back to the place we had the coffee the day before checking in and ordered proper Italian croissants and cappuccinos for us (I love this tradition may it live long life!) Luckily, it was a sunny day the skies were clearing up above us. We went back to check out then did some shopping and decided to have our lunch later on the beach. We parked and chose to hang out on a coast side just next to the bar so we would not have to go too far. The waves were still high so I went to swim only one time with Him and we waited for the afternoon to come.
The beach bar was beautiful especially in the sunset with the music played that we both love. The place had a spiritual hint with large buddha statues and beds, and resting areas decorated with white linens. We danced, drank and had fun. I took photos. He signed two of his records, it made us both very cheerful. We could have, but didn't want to stay longer saying that this trip was perfect as it was. Also he had to drive at night and I was falling asleep. On the way back I climbed onto the back seat and woke up only when I saw familiar building. We were home.
