Italy-Slovenia-Sicily

I've been a bit slack not posting regularly, having too much fun! We haven't stopped! Since last post we drove down through Italy, visited Mark's cousin Nikki and her family in the Calabria region. In short, they have an organic farm and rescue dogs! They have six dogs including 2 giant Italian Sheepdogs (Maremmas). Suffice to say, they are my people, loved them! Then a mad dash via car ferry to the Island of Sicily, wedding bound. We stayed in Taormena, a very touristy but beautiful and historic town. Our hotel had incredible sea views and was the vintage of an Agatha Christie Poirot movie set. Loved it! Ollie and Rosie's wedding was in a rural location, the venue was incredible, sprawling Tuscan-Spanish style hacienda homestead, replete with guest rooms, gardens, swimming pool and more. The most incredible and fun wedding ever, full of Greeks, Italians, Aussies and poms. Rosie and Ollie looked gorgeous and we all danced until 2am, Hard to top this wedding! We've spent the last week on board a 41ft yacht Lilibet, cruising the Ionian Islands. Mark's brother Joe and his wife Sandra joined us (from UK), along with Dennis and Louise from Perth. Great times and tons of laugh with a fun bunch, plus some good sailing experience. We are now back on the mainland, four nights to go. Its been a holiday to remember!En savoir plus
