So in Australia it was a stringray, in America it was a bear and today, amongst the feet of swimmers it was a small octopus – I am Gerald Durrell of the Briffa’s. So on a more serious note this campsite just gets better and better. Following a lovely trip to the Cinque Terra, well two of them at least, where like cut flowers, as soon as we took our kids out of water they quickly wilted and despite the threat of imminent expiring from our lovely daughter, we were able to experience a lovely platter of local ham, cheese and beer – Bill was in heaven, we also had a lovely ice cream, yes another and a lovely swim, yes another.

Today we rented sun-loungers, the pinnacle of my holiday and spent a fun day snorkelling. Joe has perfected snorkelling without actually being in the water, due to his recent encounter with a rogue jelly fish yesterday ( he was very brave ).
