Malc & Penny's Trips abroad |
|||
|
We’ve been able to have two long weekends away together, one in France, the other in Stockholm Stockholm is a very beautiful city, set as it is as islands amongst waterways Short boat trips provide great views of the city |
 |
||
|
Longer
trips will take you out around the archipelego with stops at authentic
fishing villages |
||
| Views of the city from the water | |||

Italy In September we had a couple of weeks in Southern Italy, the second week with Becky. It wasn’t the greatest time we’ve ever had, all being ill whilst away. From a travel guide point of view, be warned, avoid southern Italy. |

However
it does have some charm.
The traditional "Trulli" house we stayed in was superb.
They are basically stone igloos! |

| "Trulli Trulli I say unto you" | |||
 |
 |
||
| Gorgeous roofs - mostly with Christian symbols painted on them to ward off evil spirits | |||

| Sadly,
being
a fly drive affair, the week after we returned Penny forgot where
she was and wrong-sided on the Aldermaston road. The good news was that
she was fine, which is more than can be said for the poor vehicle pictured
above. Yes Malc’s beloved Lucida was no more! And as always the
insurance fell well short of the replacement cost.
Becky kindly bought the registration number for dad, so the new version has the same number M146ELC – it seemed like God’s little joke at Malc always having wanted a personalised plate. (Happily by January 2005 a replacement was acquired) |
