La Notte Rosa

La Notte Rosa is a huge party that is held along 110KM of coast from the Lidos of Comacchio to Cattolica at the beginning of July every year. It happened to be the night before we were due to leave for our AFS camp in Rome, and then head home to our own countries but we didn't let that stop us attending! I went along with Ida (Denmark), my host sister Marta and our friend Pavi. It was such an amazing night and although we had to go straight for the bus to Rome the next morning it was totally worth it! There were so many people out at Cesenatico where we went - the whole coast was alive and everyone so happy and excited. Once we were bored of one area, or one type of music we could just move on to the next, it was incredible!

We arrived at Cesenatico late in the evening, probably around 10 or 11PM which is when most parties seem to start here in Italy. The bus to take us back to Cesena arrived at about 7AM the next morning, Ida and I then met our host families from there and headed straight to our bus bound for Rome - it was a jam packed evening but so totally worth it! At about 5 or 6 the next morning we found ourselves in a pasticceria having pastries for breakfast looking dazed and tired but with so many new memories to take with us into the future.
