Croatia – Split (Stobrec) April 16 It’s been a quiet couple of days as the both of us manage nasty colds. Thom is all cough, and lots of it. Mine started as a sore throat, then a little congestion, and now a minor cough. Should be over the worst of it soon. But it makes […]
April 12· We’ve been thoroughly enjoying our Venice visit!! Our flat is superb and in the quiet sector, San Palo, with 2 small balconies overlooking the “street” and a turn in a small canal 100 feet away. It takes a bit of getting used to the fact there are no vehicles!! Even the trash, picked

LYTTLETON Not much today – returned the van, got some groceries and got domestic – that in a minute. The van place, Wicked, has these wildly painted vans, generally for 2, like ours, while some are plain, also like ours.
