South - Venice Back To Sicily



Hello to You All Again


First I must apologise to all who have written, for not getting back to you sooner.  I have had a MAJOR disaster – my computer decided
I had bashed it around for long enough and given it too much sea air, so gave up totally.  A trip to an Italian specialist where he worked on it for a week trying to revive it, made no difference. But he did manage to transfer my photo file onto an external hard drive thank- goodness, otherwise I would have had to make Alec retrace our WHOLE trip so far, to replace them – Yeah Right!!!!!  Then we had a few issues with Alec’s computer which he has finally sorted thank goodness, so I will be using his till I can replace mine.  I won’t do it here in Italy as my Italian is not quite up to explaining what I would like.  In fact my Italian is all of two to three words!! But I do have all the hand waving etc. and to date are getting along just fine.  Hopefully I can add another three words to my vocab soon.  OK now back to the matters of our Adventures to date.
