Spotting kiwis in Rome

We were out scootering and who should we see out for a Sunday morning run in the streets of Rome but Jeff Wilson and Adine Wilson (nee Harper). For non kiwis - Jeff was an All Black rugby player and Adine is a Silver Fern netballer. Unfortunately we couldn't stop to talk, as they were negotiating some road obstacles and we were going in the wrong direction. . . . . .

FYI our plan is to leave Rome tomorrow (Mon 1 Aug) and head back to Viterbo then cycle to catch the ferry to Sicily. We will ride for a week or so with our friend Gilmo and then perhaps another week on our own. Ultimately we will then head back through Italy to Greece and then up the Croatian coast. Thats's the plan at this stage anyway . . . .

We were hoping to get to Turkey but we don't think we'll have enough time on this trip. For OCC people, we are hoping to be able to catch up with Meg and Hunter later in September if it works out for them with their jobs etc.

We may not be able to get to many internet cafes in Sicily, so don't be surprised if you don't hear from us for a while. . . . . . . . Ciao
