... insurance people. I got a letter off them and have to have my stiches out in 7 days time and got a prescription for some pain killers. So all we have been doing really is hiding out in our little apparment the woman who we are staying with is amazing and refused to charge Ian for the extra days that we have been staying and Ian has been great in looking after me. Making me soup and sausage and mash and ...

As we said its getting colder now so we decided not to do much today as we both wanted to relax anyway after the hectic few weeks that we have had in Turkey greece and italy. So we just went for a walk in the harbour and had a look around its another pretty little harbour town with some cafes but its still really different from Italy.

... for a few hours before heading to shore. We didn't' want to go alone so we asked any of the crew if they wanted to go with us. We ended up getting three of the stewies and one of the deckies to go with us. With only four people aboard the work load was very light, so they were able to go with us. We took the tender to shore and no one was on the beach where we landed, but there were more people scattered ...
