On the Road Again!

Posts that would have gone on here but sadly this blog didn't exist back then. So here's a link -  http://invictamoto.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/Campania However, what I do have are the photos taken whilst we were there and stored on Flickr .

Until we were in Italy earlier in the month I had no idea that there are so many FIAT 500 "Cinquecento" cars still in daily use. They were built in the same sort of period as the Mini in the UK and to be honest you hardly see any of them on he road unless there's some Mini festival.

So what is airport’s security’s view of satnavs in their sunglasses case and a heap of wiring? On that subject. Modern life means we have gadgets and gadgets need power. To get the power we have power leads. So after the phone charger, there’s the power lead for the camera batteries (different ones so different charger doobries), then the lead for the satnav to connect it to the PC, oh yes, the PC is going to… free WiFi in the hotel….. We hope. What else, have I mentioned the phone charger, oh yes. Spare SD and CF cards for the cameras, the cameras of course, plus spare batteries. Then there’s the iPod and speakers, plus power lead. It never sto...
