Chelsea! Chelsea! 

We watched the second half of the game in a bar in Siracusa with another couple from our hotel, and he was another Spurs supporter.  And what a result - so exciting! So sorry Tottenham but really only yourselves to blame.

Had a great day yesterday and drove to Mt Etna,  A-maz-ing! Still quite a bit of snow around and the contrast with the black made the landscape even more interesting.  We were at nearly 3000M, which isnt great for me, but Bruce was very attentive, holding my hand very tightly as we walked around quite a narrow edge of a crater. It wasn't until later that I worked out that actually he didn't like it very much!

We walked right round this crater

No news of Sequel's repairs yet and we are happy not to return her to the water until Thursday maybe as the forecast is for very strong winds for the next few days, but then after that there should be at least four clear days with little wind and hopefully we will make some progress.
