Animal care AKA cleaning
I have spent the past two weeks on a hotel/zoo building site. Which is on the way to becoming a holiday resort exclusively for disabled kids and their families. Basically I volunteer for 33hours a week and they provide me with food and shelter. I guess that seems like a lot to some but it´s only a short-term thing for me and volunteering is good for one´s soul (and CV). I came here because I knew I´d want a ´break´ from the intensiveness of traveling. ...
Day 16: Countryside
Today I went to a rural area of Italy. It was very calm and quiet here. The people were really nice and gave us some of their food so that we could eat there with them. Their houses were built of pure bricks making them very stable and warm for those cold fronts that come in the winter.

Regretfully we took the bus back to Spain going straight through to Seville in 3 1/2 hours.

We did not have air conditioning which was a bit of a trial one night as it was incredibly hot (it is august after all) but a bigger problem was the mosquitos which had fierce bites but they did not last long. I recommend getting air conditioning in the summer months and also buying a beach umbrella.
All in all this is a good place to chill for a week ...
Mooring up another river
... the hull to see what might be making the noise. So out came the wetsuit and goggles...no photos for this! He went under the hull and very quickly ascertained that it was the larger shaft anode that was loose and making the clink clink as the prop turned in the tide.
That was a relief to him and it was not an urgent repair so we could leave the mooring for Chipiona the next day and not have to go on the 'hard'.
