15th April 2009 HAPPY EASTER. Here are some pics from the last week. Pisa, Follonica, Rome, Fondi, and Napoli. The weather has been good, bright and sunny with beautiful sunsets. We are starting to get a little tanned - oh, sorry no, that's just dirt! Beautiful drives along the coasts, mixed with crazy Itailian driving in the cities... they really do play chicken with you at EVERY junction, double park, take racing lines around the corners regardless if there is anything coming the other way, fly around the tight back streets and it must be the only country to have an offical sign telling you to" give way to overtaking traffic". AGHHHHH...
