Thongs! Or flip flops. Was doing a list of what not to forget the other day when I was reminded of Thongs. Nearly every trip or holiday I go on I forget to take them. When I last went to Europe I remembered on the day I was leaving that I didn't have a pair. Couldn't find a pair in the usual places- Target, Big W etc and ended up coming across these little beauties in Home Hardware in Mooroopna. Looked and them and just thought the pictures would rub off. Obviously not, this pic was taken on the last day of the 4 month trip. Was ditching everything that I didn't need as I was coming home and had a crook neck. So these were left at East London University. Wish I hadn't they were great. Pools in Europe especially in Italy are very strict on having to wear thongs to pool edge, no thongs and they often wont let you in. Many pools you had to walk through a small foot pool that also automatically showered you as you went through (wish I had of know this the first time, got a bit of a shock).
On pools, one of the different things about Italian swimming change rooms was the fact that if you had a male infant then the mums would take that infant into the male changerooms. Got a bit of a shock when I walked in after swim to be confronted in the shower by an 19year female who was there helping her student shower. Apparently you are meant to keep your bathers on in the showers there - Whoops.
