What a awful journey! Hi John, sorry for not writing earlier but we’ve had a lot of problems. In fact, I’m going to tell you about our adventure. Last week, we planned to go from Genova to Barcelona where we had rented a house. So we set off in the morning to try to avoid the traffic and we got the motorway to get Montecarlo. We would have taken about two hours but we had got stuck because there was a great traffic jam. Not only, when we were driving along the Monaco’s narrow streets, suddenly a wheel burst and we had to stop the car. We had the wheel repaired by a tyre dealer and we restarted off our journey. Finally we arrived at the port where we had our boat. Next day, we left by boat to get Barcelona. The first part of the journey was fine and we also stopped the boat in front of a beach to relax and take a bath. The following day, although weather forecast told us that it would have been good, it was cloudy but always warm. At night, when we’re sailing towards Nizza, the weather got worse, the worst I’ve ever seen. We’re in the middle of a terrible storm: it started raining, the wind blew hard and the sea became rough. Whereas we’re trying to hold the boat, the wind was blowing so hard that it broke our sails. Not only, when we lowered the sails we realized that we had lost our satnav. We were going in the wrong direction and we didn’t know where we were! What a awful journey! Nevertheless, the violent storm calmed down very soon and the waves got smaller. The terrible storm had thrown our boat very faraway, but in the morning we could see where we were. As soon as we found our route, we thought to go back. That’s all for now. Looking forward to hearing from you very soon. Cheers
