Hi there everyone, well alot has been happening so far in Italy and it has all been pretty excellent. I will start from the beginning, arriving in Italy.
As Kevin mentioned earlier our friend Danilo that we met at Oktoberfest had been texting us and asking us to visit him at his home in Cuneo. So we decided to go, not knowing what to expect, he had to meet us at a little town so we could follow him to his house as it was out in the middle of nowhere. When we arrived he informs us that his brother, sister-in-love (yes love) and their children are joining us, we think this is great. Then he says and also my Mother and Father are here, we say great, then he says that all the others from Oktoberfest will be here a little later on for supper! So we walk in and two of them speak broken english and everyone else speaks Italian. Well after the home cooked feast of a life time and all the homemade wine we are in heaven and of course speaking Italian like fluent mexicans!! But it was great.
The next day our freinds all took the day off work to spend with us driving around their home town and surrounding districts!!
I could ramble on more but all there is to really say is that these people are probably the most generous and welcoming people we have met on this trip! Lovely, lovely people!
Before driving to Cinque Terra we called into Danilo's house for a coffee and to say goodbye and "Mama" had cooked us another 5 course lunch!! Needless to say we spent another couple of hours there!!

Hi you two - i am really enjoying reading all of your travel stuff and this latest story in Italy is to me what travel is all about. Just like those intrepid journeyers we have seen on NZ telly over the past few years, but even better cos its really natural.
How about some more pics - want to see Danilo and his sister-in -love and of course Mama!
Amy is doing great at school - she is such a mature young woman and I just love her spontaneity and happiness factor.
Keep writing and I'll keep reading!

LOl, thanks Chris.
Funny you should say that, I have this TV documentary series idea that might see the light of day next year.
