I miss the Summer vacation trip we had in 2007. It was far from perfect, but hey, it had
style.
We went to Sardinia for two weeks. First week was fairly standard, in a good hotel. Second week was where the fun was. The idea was to gather with another part of the family, we were 10 in the end.
For this, we rented a villa. It looked like a good deal: enough space to house 10 persons with comfort, bathrooms that rock, conditioned air for the last floor, all that shit.
We kids occupied the last floor, which was a neat little space. It was like the villa was tailored to our family, heh.
Conditioned air, y'say? Hello ages-old mobile AC units. It was also impossible to run more than one unit at the same time (for 3 bedrooms) because it would draw too much current from the outlets.
Most of the fittings were similarly undersized. Bathing or showering for more than 10 minutes exhausted the villa's hot water supply, rendering the amazing bathrooms worthless. The tables provided were tiny, requiring meals to take place in two separate phases.
Oh and for a while the kitchen fucking stank... we had a chicken in the fridge, and the thing turned bad and rotted in the fridge. Apparently it was running at minimum power too.
Not counting the amount of things broken or damaged. Unsurprisingly the landlord tried to hold us responsible for one of those. Fun fact, we had actually broken something during the stay, but it wasn't what the landlord referred to.
In retrospect, it was fun, minus the aspect of getting scammed. Certainly more adventurous than the average perfect trip
