DAY 459: The darkest day

We went to the Railway hotel again, me and Ben were totally drunk and something bad happened... few moments later we were down on a street fighting as it never happened before...

I really thought my story with Ben was finished, I cried, cried and cried an shouted to him as I never did before.

That night we were in same bed together as usual but we didn't really sleep. The morning at 6 a.m. passion tried to heal everything but It took almost two weeks to put all the pieces back together and to feel 100% well again.

I stayed silent for a whole week, every morning when I walked to work I thought and thought about it and every time when I stopped at the same traffic light I cried.

A lovely weekend in Ringwood at Ben's parents house helped me a lot, we re-found our harmony again sitting on a green couch and talking to each other about our points of view. Just an hour before our "peace moment" Ben showed me once more that he really care about me and he had a fight with one of his best friends to protect me and our relationship.
Ben has his little "dark sides" but it's just the exception that proves the rule, and the rule is that he is the sort of guy that you will never be scared to live a life with.
That's why I'm jealous, because he is perfect to my eyes.

DAY 186: A refreshing summer afternoon

We went to a place called Railway, they told me it was one of the best hotel / bar to enjoy friends and drinks during the hot Melbourne's summer.

At the begin I was surprisingly shocked by the price of alcohol (in Italy drinks and cocktails are much cheaper, for example and you can get a good bottle of vodka for $10) but soon I forgot about that, it was one of my first days there and I wanted to enjoy them as much as possible.

I would never forget my first Pimm's jug, as big as a bottle and full of strawberries, cucumber, lime, orange, lemon and of course its main element... the Pimm's, a light british alcohol that I never had before in my life!.

It was so cool, although they taught me “cool” is not anymore a cool word, it was the best way to begin my Australian experience!

At the Railway it was full of new people to to know; the funny thing was that these “strangers” already knew about my existence, they knew that me and Ben met in Spain the last summer.

They were happy, they actually couldn't believe I came to Australia.
