...We went to The Spanish Steps, which were slightly too full of tourists to be the peaceful and graceful place they would be in autumn, and from there along Via Del Babuino to The Hotel De Russie, one of the best in all of Rome. It's quite a legendary place this, and I make no bones about the fact Sarah and I were interested in seeing it because Morrissey lives there, but we weren't being nerdy stalkers because we knew he'd be in Milan for a show tonight. Depeche Mode were in the bar though. It's a lovely place, we sat in the courtyard having Grey Goose and tonic, making friends with a charming waiter called Paulo. "Ah, Morr-is-say, ci. He's very nice. He's very nice. He invite all the staff here to the show. Very nice." You know I have a sickness for the world's best hotels, even if I can't afford to stay in them, and that's the beauty of them - you don't have to. You can just enjoy their hospitality and make believe...
