We have enjoyed the last few days here in Sant’Ambrogio relaxing and not doing much at all……other than eating and drinking!

We are seeing magnificent sunsets every night here, whilst eating our pistachio ice creams and drinking limoncello! It is just a great way to finish off a day in Paradise!

The weekend saw the climax of the Festival here in our village. On Saturday night we had the comedy play in the town square! It was probably quite funny if you understood Italian! Sunday morning we were woken at 8am by the Cefalu City Brass Band wandering through the streets playing their music rather loudly for that hour of the morning! The Festival finished with the Parade of the Madonna through the streets, then the fireworks happened from the top of the church at midnight!

The sea food dinners have been fantastic on the Belvedere , watching the sun set , and eating the fresh fish. Not too mention of course the drinks as well.

We ventured into the very busy Cefalu , and wandered through the streets again, and of course savoured a couple of cannolis!

Thank goodness we have had a couple of days of slightly cooler weather, still around 27 degrees , but with a cool breeze!

Tomorrow we leave our little haven here, and head towards Rome, with an overnight stop at Caserta. Thursday morning we drop Pierre off at the airport and jump on a flight home to Aus at midday! Fingers crossed for another upgrade!

The 3 months have gone extremely quickly , but in saying that we are looking forward to getting home and seeing all the family and friends who we have missed a lot!

So the next blog will be from Japan in October!

So, no it’s not “that time” , it is actually time to “try” and pack the suitcases! It could be difficult due to the extras we have bought whilst on travels…..and it is not only Rhonda’s shoes!!!!

Ciao ciao for now

Love Greg and Rhonda
