A day in Portofino

It had rained overnight and we left armed with umbrella's, it was still mild and pretty humid. By the end of the day my hair was twice its natural size! A train trip from Mongelia to Santa Margerita then a bus to Portofino. Our connections didn't quite match up so we wandered about Sant Margherita for a while. Very pretty place, the shops were doing a booming trade on a non beach day. The bus trip was packed but there were no unfortunate incidents. Portofino is tiny but beautiful, we had a lovely lunch and walked the 5km back, much better than the bus. If I can work out how to load photos from my iPad I will, Cheers Shell

Technology clearly not my strength

Well for a first post I know it's kind of late but with the wifi hassles and the photo disaster. I won't be able to share photo's until I get my hands on a computer, I really should have upgraded the iPad before I left home. Or perhaps not said I would blog..... We arrived to the airport some of in the safe hands of Marilyn, who while excited for the Turtle family was not looking forward to us going, things might be a bit quiet for her. The kids made them most of the lounge while we waited but it was a shame our plane had been delayed. Comfortable flight to Do Ha, on as Gary insists. On calling them air Qatar, such a dad joke. Landing in Do Ha, the scenery or lack there of, sand Asa far as you could see. The airport is massive, you get of the plane miles away and catch a coach to the terminal. The bus to our connecting flight was hot and stuffy and the baby turtle was not to happy about standing up all the way looked a bit pale, sat her on the floor, someone kindly gave up there seat for her. When we got out though, to add to the drama because we always like drama, baby turtle fainted!!! Ohhh, the drama! She has talked about it once or twice since then, I know who would have thought. Trip to Rome uneventful. Love to hear from you. Shell
