The German and Italians over here, insist it’s pronounced ‘Heemer’.
When I try it, it sounds like I have a Scottish accent!
Can’t go wrong with a Hymer

Planning to return to Blighty on June 9th Paul, although I don’t think we’ll have any spending power by the time we get back!
It is a delight over here, except the roads, I am expecting to have to buy new tyres when we get home
.Hope you two are keeping well. xx

Today we were up with the lark, breakfasted, dog excercised, bag packed and off to explore Orvieto.
From the sosta, we rode the furnicular railway (€1.30 per person each way) up to the old town. Absolutely oozing with history and tradition.
Chris wanted to visit the Pozzo Di San Patrizzio, so I said ‘Fine, let’s do it!
How was I to know that it was basically a well, constructed in 1527, to supply the town with water, in case of invasion. The well has steps down to the bottom and then back up again, like about 500 of them! I can’t believe we paid money for the experience!

Certainly not at the moment guys, although there is a Yellow warning for rain and thunder later on today and tbh the forecast isn’t very good until about next Tuesday. Sat here, at the moment in brilliant sunshine, finding it all very hard to believe what is happening in the Northeast.

We've had some really wet weather down here in Sicily too. It rained solidly from Sunday night until Tuesday morning with 1 hour off at 1.00pm Monday! The roads were flooded.
In fact I'd say out of the 18 days or so that we have been here in Sicily on at least 10 of them it has rained.

Enjoying the photos and trip reports Roger.
You must be gutted that they’ve cancelled the Italian Grand Prix having spent all that money on tyres, wheel bearings and engine tuning!
