Back to basics.

After last night's indifferent 'Beef in red sauce' meal I decided to go back to basics tonight, the pork kebab and salad was absolutely brilliant. I am a man of simple tastes but I cannot remember a night in a restaurant in Greece when Zorba was not played at least once. A great exploring day today, I started of with. Walk to the local monastery which was built on a crag overlooking the gorge. The views again were spectacular, it seemed to me to be an ideal place for contemplation. There was the opportunity in the monastery church to light another candle to Jan and as I lit it the sun came out from behind the clouds so I know she is still with me. The rest of the day I spent driving up circuitous roads to visit remote villages. The scenery up here is too much I can't think of the correct superlative to describe it and there are surprises around every corner whether it is a spectacular view, a local looney in the middle of the road or a herd of cows looking for fresh grass, it certainly keeps you on your toes. Well I know I have only got a few weeks left so I have planned the trip home. I will be visiting a couple of friends en route as well as the Stelvio Pass so after leaving the far south of Italy on the 4th of June I should be home on Friday 10th, see you in chapel Peter.
