Ready, set.........

Waiting at Sydney airport at 4.30 in the morning. All is quiet, the hurly burley of organising passports, papers toothbrush is now all over .

As we wait, I reflect on the farewells with our respective parents. Paul's mother, stoic as ever wished us a safe trip and gave us some minties for the flight.
My father, who is fighting cancer and not that well, cried and was really worried he would die while I was away. My mother was worried that I would die.  An emotional scene. I love being Italian.

Views of bar beach and Dixon park beach in Newcastle

Who  would want to leave this place?

Our morning walk today. Glorious weather, perfect vista, and not even on holidays yet........

Prequel to grand tour

It is on again.
Gab and Paul are going back to Gab's roots in Italy. No boat this time, just plane, trains, buses and car.
One and a half weeks to go. A photo of Venice from last trip to test .
