8:30 PM Dinner

Trattora N'da Calata

Slight navigation issues with google sending down a road which was clearly no longer maintained. Completed a 17 point turn to change directions and arrived by 8:20 where we're the only people at dinner.

Also, correct pronunciation of the few phrases relating to dinner has once again tricked our waitress into speaking all Italian.


9:30 PM Cinnamon (cannella) Liquor

Trattora N'da Calata

Free digestive after dinner. Was awesome.
