Boat travels!

Back from Egypt, into the routine of working husband and housewife! I'd been studying a lot, and Sean was working hard, when one Monday, Justin pops up on my Skype, saying he's in Barcelona Port Vell! Fantastic surprise! Well, obviously, i went down there to see him! And Sean joined us after work. Had many drinks and talked lots of crap with Justin and Riaan, and a couple of the other crew that we met! Such fun! The next day, Justin asks if we are going to join him in taking the boat to San Remo? Not too much of thought before we gave him an answer! Sean took Thursday and Friday off work, Monday and Tuesday were a holiday anyway, packed our bags and stayed on the boat Wednesday night, ready for departure on Thursday morning! Not quite the same as a sailboat, as it only took us 17 hours to get there! Was great to be on the water again.

Friday we spent walking around the town of San Remo. Lovely place. Saturday, Justin drove us into Monaco to visit Lance, we had a few drinks and walked around a bit, then had some more drinks! So good to see Lance again, it's been a while!

 Justin, luckily for us, stayed sober to drive us all back to Italy along the winding roads!
Sunday, we went into the mountains into a town called Limone Piemonte, which is a ski town in the winter. In the beginning of October though, there was no snow, it was just cold! Beautiful quaint village. We had a lovely lunch before heading back to the boat!

We got back to the boat, and after a great meal and lots of wine, Sean and I packed our bags as we were heading back to Barcelona on the Monday. Just in time for me to wash some clothes for my trip to SA to write exams. I left on the Tuesday morning, 12 October. It was all worth it though! I had a great time in SA. Missed Sean a lot, but saw a lot of friends and family in between writing exams. Got home a month later.
