OK. Venice, summer 1974. Inter railing around Europe. Sat in Venice station trying to figger out how the hell to get to the Yoof Hostel by boat

A laydee approaches and we agree to go together. SHe is a redhead. A nurse. A Kiwi. 26. Lithe

The Yoof hostel is full.
We go to an hotel where she takes charge, "We need a double room." (ME

)
We go out, buy wine, bread, cheese and apples and watch the sunset

We go back to the hotel. I go for a shower down the corridor while she uses the shower in the room. I wander back and find her clad in black pants and nothing else.
What a splendid 4 days

Then one morning she said, "I must be off." And she left
