Day 14 - Florence

Drove to Florence via Positano and Sorrento which was an easier way than via Salerno which we came in on.  We avoided Rome and anything that looked like a town.

It was a long trip and pretty exhausting as Ronnie is still getting used to the left hand drive.  The windscreen wipers come on often, especially when he is under pressure - for instance when a big truck is pulling into our land without indication.

Went to "happy hour" at the Hotel David and met two other couples and we just chatted over free drinks, wonderful food (supposedly appetisers) and cake. Didn't realise we hadn't had dinner until it was 11:30 and it was too late so we just went to bed!



Would you  believe we travel half way around the world to photograph a rowing club - Florence Rowing Club - and give an assessment of their rowing skills - excellent for about 50 metres then they stop, feign exhaustion, and start over.  We could blitz them.

We could whip the pants off the rowers in Rome too.  Even I could see they lacked style.
