Well, finally here! Sydney airport was a ghost town due to the airport closures, which helped us get away on time. The usual 22 hours of hell followed, but i'll spare my readers the details. Instead, some eye candy. Here's myself and the princess about to begin our great adventure...



Arrival at Heathrow was very welcome, but something of a nasty surprise. It was colder than Sydney! 10 degrees celsius. Welcome to summer in Britain.


Well you can immediatley see where you are in the world.  We caught a bus out to St Albans, where we're staying for five days. The capital of Adminius before his expulsion by Togodumnus and Caractacus and the first Roman capital of Brittaniorum before Londinium. It was called Verulamium in those days.

Things have changed a bit since then. The town has moved up the hill and the fights are in the pub not the amphitheatre. Here's a photo of our favourite pub in the middle of town.


That's all for now, as I have to go and have breakfast.

Sardinia

Goodbye Italy, hello Sardinia! Our last view of Vesuvius, which has dominated everything for the last two weeks! But isn't Sardinia in Italy?  - Well that's a moot point… We've come to Sardinia on a singing adventure with a choir put together by Stuart Davis. Great fun so far, and what a talented bunch they are too. A little bit of homework, three or four rehearsals and we're having our first public performance in Cale Gonone tomorrow evening. I'll post some video of it if i can get some. Here is the poster on the town notice board! Sardinia is breathtaking. The days have been HOT, and we've had a dawn swim out the bay and then snorkelling, in between rehearsals. The food is great and the views incredible. Gone are the tourist crowds, apart from some late season Italians and Germans, and everything is so much more relaxed now. The mountains are high and the clouds low! Here is a view from our Hotel rooftop bar, right on the beach. This town o...

Rencontres de Chants Polyphonique, Calvi, Corsica

Hi, it's the Princess here to update you on our latest adventure! The last post left us high in the spiky mountains in the interior of Corsica so you'll be happy to hear we were safely delivered to Calvi by our wonderful bus driver Domenico who had driven us all through Sardinia as well - just in time for the Polyphonic Songs Festival! Where to start. Our hotel was at the foot of yet another citadel in the centre of the old city on the edge of the sea. Amazingly the beach here has yellow sand - not the black rocks we had become accustomed to. The venue for the festival was an 18th century cathedral up on top of the hill. It was a short but steep hike up - totally worth it for the views and the huge acoustic! The first is a photo taken from the bus when we first arrived at Christoph Columb hotel and the second is the view from the top. The program started off with an amazing vocal quartet from Puglia led by Enza Pagliari, who is justifiably famous in her own right. Their ...

Well, in Fiumicino at any rate. A lovely little fishing village just near the airport. Got in at 9pm ('Hotel Tiber') and had a bit of a 'passagio' along the 'mole' checking out the fishermen and the boats. A big Saturday night in the main street with a live band and plenty of locals. We had a good trip and feeling pretty relaxed. Woke up this morning to a lovely day. Off soon to the railway station, quick trip to Rome Termini and then the express (business class!) to Naples at 12md. Next check in soon!
