In their stay in Venice, Luis becomes ill and spends the entire week in the bathroom while, on their way from Munich, Germany, where the first half of the story takes place, to Venice, Eva's car breaks down somewhere in the Alps, so she, Nick, and her two children walk and hitchhike the rest of the way. Nick is also allergic to children and continually sneazes but the children grow warm on him. They arrive without money, passports, credit cards, their clothes torn and burnt, on a Friday evening, which means that they have to spend the weekend without any support from the German embassy.
