So all packed and ready to go. No frills in the kit that's for sure although it still feels heavy enough.

Weather forecast improving - sure it'll change again before too long but we've enough warm and wet weather kit to see us through. That's a sure fire way to ensure it stays mild & dry!

So now about to relish our last bit of home comfort before heading off tomorrow. If I don't manage to post again, either I've not been able to get Internet access or John has in fact sabotaged my bicycle and I'm lying in a ditch somewhere - payback for not letting him go to Italy!!!
