Kevnjan's big adventure.

Wed. 8th. Feb. Can't believe I just typed 2 days blog and lost it. I didn't post anything on Tues. was too fed up with situation. We booked into an hotel on the seafront at Reggio in the end as it wasn't a good idea to be locked in the yard where the van was being repaired. Alfredo, the owner of the business had his father drive us to the hotel. These people are very kind, nothing is too much trouble. We dined on pizza and slept under a proper roof for the first time in over 5 months. Rather be in the van. On Wednesday we set out to do some sightseeng, the museum was closed, the castle - closed, and another museum, you guessed it. The shops were open though and Jan looked in every one!! We originally had intended to give Reggio a miss, having spent 2 days here, I think it was probably the right decision. Lovely views across the Strait of Messina though to Sicily. Last night we tried twice to get out for an hour, both times beaten back by torrential rain. Gave up and spent €6 on a film which was rubbish. Alberto phoned to say the van should be OK for us to take away on Thursday night. Not a minute too soon.
