Bucket List

So in the movie 'Bucket List' two men are diagnosed with cancer, the film then shows us what they have on their list of things to do before leaving this mortal world, its a great movie, I'd recommend it. I noticed on twitter, people giving their own bucket list, which has prompted me to consider my own bucket list.

Travelling
i'd love to travel more, and see the world, I want my son to be a citrezan of the world who is well travelled, i have a friend who lives in London now, but she has recently returned from India (little jealous of that), so where has made the list

  • Rome - Italy. the birthplace of the western world, civilisation as we know it came from there, also I love Italy, its relaxed culture, beautiful food and wines
  • New York - it seem to be a place that is on most people list, its in all the movies and television. also Madison Square Garden, i want to see WWE action in the garden.
  • India  - there is not one part of the country i want to see more than another, all of it
  • Manilla - Philippians; my wife spent two months there and wants me to go and meet her friends.
  • Tokyo - Japan, I want to see Godzilla
Events; things i would like to be part of before meeting the Maker
  • running the bulls and the tomato thing in Spain
  • New Years in Oz, somewhere near the sydney bridge to watch the fireworks.
  • Wrestlemania ... nothing more to say!
  • Jonathan Millard Live, one day that this happen, bigger than Michael McIntyre(and better looking)
People ... so who makes your list, and before you say anything I know I'm married, so i'd need a divorce to complete the bucket list
  • Cameron Diaz
  • Jennifer Lopez
  • Kirstie Allsopp
  • Pippa Middleton
So some random thoughts, bit of fun, never take life to serious.

Sunday 31/7 ...continued again

Standing on Ramanzacco's little train station, over fifty people huddled together to board a train designed for forty and roll onto Cividale. The train was extremely fun; many of the leaders stood in the hallway between the the two carriages; where they had more laughter, much more than those sat deep inside the carriage with the youths, between nearly falling of the train and the crazy stories that arose about the views through the carriage doors, it was like falling down a rabbit hole or perhaps we should call it riding a magical madness train.
We arrived at our destination a rather modern rail station, not really what you expect at a Unesco world heritage site, after checking we had everyone we followed Gianluca into the town (we follow him a lot in these stories).We huddled in the town square while Gianluca used his mini-megaphone to tell us all about the town, we then began a tour of the town, visiting the cathedral, the celts art work, the baby drop off, celtic burial chambers, Julius Cessar statue,  the little Longobard Temple and the devil's bridge; all due respect to Gianluca the tour was different and very entertaining. with a about an hour before the next train the group broke up into smaller units to explore the beautiful, so myself and several other leaders went up the slight hill to the town square and sat in the glorious sunshine, I can't remember the name, and I ask like a thousand time, but the next thing i knew was the waiter placing the large wine glasses on the table, the orange drink brighten the face, as the glowing goblets was lifted to the lips. As the liquid ran over my tongue, it was crisp and cleansing, not exactly orange in taste, until afterwards, my taste-buds really enjoyed the taste.
As the group reformed from its shattered scattered parts, the returned to Ramazacco on the magical madness train (MMT), was as eventful if not more than the journey out to the town. When we arrived, we were to eat more, before socialising and sleeping.
