19th Feb. Diano Marina
















Not a lot to report, just taking in the town and basically wandering. Nice to chill for a while.
On the wheel repair front, not much action. The Tallies don't do emails, and of course I can't speak Italian so not much happening. If they worked with email, I can translate text using tinternet, but they don't.
So, I have employed the services of a translator/interpreter. Just to make the booking with the garage. The whole problem is, we need the vehicle back the same day, i.e. it's our only accommodation...blah, blah..
The chances of me having this conversation with a garage is slim to difficult, so call in the professionals!!
Turns out the nearest garage can't touch us for 2 weeks, no use to man nor beast, so we are awaiting a response from a couple of other garages.
I think we will end up driving to Nice (France) to get it repaired. I can handle French a bit better. It's only about 50 miles up the coast.
Have spoken to the woman at the campsite we're going to in Nice, I think she's English, so at least the place is definitely open!!
Will keep you posted, in the meantime, here's pictures of tooters having fun.
Sorry for the ‘Katie’ fest of photos, there are a few aunties wanting a minute by minute update of her progress!
