Traffic Troubles and Boat Mishaps

Boat drivers bemoan the overwhelming number of tourists causing traffic jams in Bellagio Italy. I can imagine them shouting 'It's a boat not a bumper car you donut!'

Too Many Visitors Not Enough Space

Italy is caught between loving and loathing tourists flooding the country post Covid. When there's a line to see Da Vinci's 'Last Supper,' you just know it's a recipe for disaster.

Shortages Galore

Italians are scrambling to fill in gaps in the tourism workforce like a mad dash through a kitchen. 'Shortages of chefs and waiters? It's a nightmare! Where's the lamb sauce when you need it?'

Delicious Deals or Highway Robbery?

Food may be affordable in Italy but the struggle to get a reservation at George Clooney's restaurant is real. 'Reservations are like lamb sauce—hard to come by!'

Taxi Turmoil

Forget about Uber—getting a taxi in Italy is like finding a needle in a haystack. 'Uber in Italy? It's more likely to find a vegetarian in a steakhouse.'

The Last Supper and Last Minute Reservations

Standing in front of Da Vinci's masterpiece may be magical but the stress of making last minute restaurant reservations and transportation arrangements can make you lose your appetite. 'Faster faster faster! Have you lost your mind?!'

    I'm glad I got to see Da Vinci's 'Last Supper,' but the lines were insane.

    I can't believe the prices for reservations at some of these places. It's crazy!
