Just a short one this time, but it's worth sharing.
Me and my family were eating the other day and the topic of our favorite moments in life was brought up, my Nan asked me what mine was. Now it took some serious thinking but I think that I finally know what it is.
This moment wasn't that long ago really, September 2011, I went on a school trip to Italy. Now this trip was originally planned for March of that year but due to, and I quote 'major engine failure' on the plane, the trip had to be canceled. (We aimed for Rome, we made a travel-lodge in Manchester) But anyway, the trip was re-arranged and we finally got to Italy a few months late.
Our hotel in Sorrento was on the fifth floor of a block of flats, and to get from the front desk to the rooms, you had to walk across a sort of outside corridor type thing. This corridor overlooked a tiny beach, out over the sea and in the distance, you could just make out the Italian mountains.
After we un-packed we headed to the dining room for some food, this was just as the sun was setting. Because we had been told a certain time to go to the dining room, a large group of us set off together. As we walked over the outside corridor though, something caught our eye, and it was certainly the most beautiful thing that I have ever seen.
That evening a group of us stood on that corridor and watched the sun set over the sea behind the mountains. It reminded me how lucky I was to be there, even if we were a bit late. I would happily give my right leg to go and re-live that fantastic experience. Great place, great people, amazing experiences.
Thanks guys, DFTBA!
