Kevnjan's big adventure.

Fri. 10th. Feb. OK I know that I missed another day yesterday and I apologise. We went back to the yard yesterday morning and although much of the work had been done to rainproof the van I wanted more. Once more the rain made it impossible to work on it during the afternoon and we spent the night parked in the yard. I discussed the possibilities of buying a generator with Alberto and he was clearly very genned up on such things. The long and short of it is that I spent the night debating whether to take his advice and install an inverter which he believed would give us the power we need without the aggravation of having to lug around a generator and petrol, not to mention the noise. Cheaper too, always gets my attention. This morning after much discussion we gave him the go-ahead and we are now the proud owners of said inverter. After spending a horrendous amount of cash we finally broke the invisible bonds that seem to have kept us around Sicily and Reggio and are camped on a windy remote spot about 40 Ks east of Reggio. The new toy is working well and we are dry and warm. We can move on with the adventure now with renewed confidence in our home/transport. We need to find a laundrette tomorrow. With all the other stuff our washing has been negelcted. What an adventure!! Another glass of wine I think.
