For those of you who have got the Tina Arena reference in the title...congratulations, you are old and probably spent some time in Australia and New Zealand in the 90s. It was the first thing that came to mind when I found out I was going to be staying in Sorrento on our romantic getaway to Italy and I had assumed that Ms. Arena was singing about this beautiful cliffside town.

Last trek post, I promise! It busied up a bit at the Section 7/8 stage, these sections being the most popular with day hikers/section hikers and larger tour groups with their own campsites. Prior to this Id walk for many hours without seeing anyone. It was also at this stage youd see the same faces on the trail and at camp each night. A diverse lot, all sorts, all ages; from a family of 4 with pro Read on...
Have you noticed if you are British that Professor Van Tam has disappeared? It seems and I could be wrong that if you disagree with Boris about Dominic Cummins you disappear .

Is this the day when life starts to spring back to normal ? Is the day when we can indeed smile and think the worse is over .

We had settled into lockdown in Wales .It was hard to believe we had been here seven whole weeks now and it had started to feel relatively normal . We had Read on...
suitcases also arrived! That is always a wonderful sight to see. It has been 44 years since I was here.
soon at the Grand Gateway Hotel. After settling in, I drove ¼ mile to the local Walmart. We planned on
through hills and gently sloping countryside. Riding south on Hwy. 16, we pass by Bear Country U.S.A.
I pull off onto a side road and of course, my wife thinks I am lost. I follow the signs Read on...
Actually, we wanted to sleep in a bit, but by 6:30 the birds were in full crescendo, and then a francolin sitting on our roof was very noisy. Its about the size of a partridge. Between him and the wild turkeys, no one sleeps in.
So, after our usual toasted English muffin and guava jam, we started off at the seashore just down the mountain road, near the airport. The sea didnt look too rough until Read on...
Diego Maradona is dead. One of the greatest footballers of all time – perhaps the greatest – died yesterday, November 25th, in Buenos Aires at the age of 60. Nine ambulances arrived to try and revive him after he was found lifeless, apparently from a heart attack, shortly before midday at his rented home. Maradona had been recovering from brain surgery.
