Back from Italy
Well we’re back from Italy now. For those that didn’t know we’ve (the immediate family and partners) just got back from a 5 day break on the coast of Italy in Amalfi following Mike and Tamsin’s wedding last weekend.
We stayed high up from the sea in a great villa run by Roberto which was so picturesque it was unbelievable! For anyone interested, don’t ever bother going to the island of Capri, it’s a complete waste of time and so overrated; you’re better off putting a bulls eye on your backside and walking into the blue oyster bar than going there to be taken for a ride!
Anyhow, the Satellite phone has turned up, along with other goodies for the trip. We’ve had another three injections this morning and the final ones for rabies & Hep-B will be done in Quito all being well. We decided this was best otherwise we would have to stay in the UK until the beginning of August before leaving and this would set us too far behind to complete the trip by February.
We’ve booked the flights with Continental to Quito via Atlanta outbound. When we return we will be coming back from Buenos Aires. The current plan is to acclimatise for 5 days in the Marriott in Quito before starting the cycling the last chance to lap up some creature comforts! We hope to push on through to the more interesting stuff in Peru and Bolivia as fast as possible to leave us enough time to get down to Ushuaia the finish in Argentina.
O yes i also know about the cost in Italy all things is rarely very expansive rather then india.
