Coming To The End

From Sunday morning it rained non-stop all the way through to Wednesday evening, meaning we couldn't go down to the pool pr beach and there definitely wasn't much chance of going for a sail! We still enjoyed our time indoors, nice and relaxing, just watching movies, reading and going out to really nice places for lunch.

On Thursday the sun came back and we were very excited. We spent the morning down by the pool, enjoying the heat and the general happiness the sun brings! For lunch we all went out to a local Chinese, P.F. Changs, to meet with one of Gemmas good friends. This is one of the best Chinese restaurants in Naples and I can certainly agree with that, it was fantastic! On arriving back, the wind had picked up and I was itching to go for a sail and luckily Megan and Antonio were willing to come along and give it a try for the first time. Antonio came out first and really enjoyed blasting up and down, after about 15 minutes we swapped and Megan came on board. At first she didn't like it but it was just a new feeling and after a couple of minutes she was used to it and enjoyed it loads, especially when the wind picked up more and we were speeding along. Once I dropped Megan off, Antonio came on again and we decided to sail down to the pier which is about a mile or so away, we got there fine but as soon as we turned around to come back the wind completely died and we were left sitting there. We could also see a massive band of rain coming towards us so we raced as fast as we could (not fast at all!!!!) for home, it took us 40 minutes or so to get back and we just beat the rain, as soon as we beached the cat, the rain hit!

Yesterday the wind was really light all day so we didn't bother going out, instead we stayed by the water and relaxed again! We also sorted out our bags so we're pretty much packed to leave now that our time is running out. Tomorrow we will be leaving here and on Monday morning we'll be touching down in the UK for the first time in 5 and a bit months. It is sad that the trip is coming to an end because we've enjoyed it so so much and the time has absolutely flown by, but all good things must come to an end eventually. There are now other things to look forward to, a new adventure is beginning. Unfortunately for us it won;t keep that travel bug inside us satisfied for long (just means we'll have to plan lots of smaller adventures!) as it is the "real world" that awaits!!
