And we're home

:D :D

Earlier than planned, but we found out where the hosue was we were going to see this morning - and cancelled :roll: :roll:

The hotel was lovely, 35 euros a night, basic, but clean. We found a really good and very reasonable restaurant and they were lovely in there too :D

Had a few hours with friends on Monday and a long chat with the people whose house we both like :D

Saw another one yesterday morning - the inside was lovely but the outside :shock: :shock: :roll: They'd have to knock another 100,000 off the price before we'd even think about it. The pool was out of level :shock: :shock: :lol: :lol: it was dingy, walls were cracked and it was nearer half an acre than an acre :shock: :lol:

And the one for this morning - we asked our friends - who know everything going on in the area ;) :lol: and they told us roughly where the house was, so yesterday afternoon, we found it. The track is one of the worst we've seen - almost took the exhaust off the car :? :shock: - and the house was actually right on the track - so the dust would get right into it - and we couldn't see where the so called one acre paddock was either. It was no-where to be seen - the rest of the land we knew belonged to another house, so another bit of porky pies, mefinks :roll: :lol: :lol:

The weather wasn't brilliant - quite cool yesterday, buitthe sun is out now and Grumpy is sat outside haviong a well deserved beer :D he did al lthe driving - as usual - and I'm dragging him out to the Capri tonight, seeing as how we saved so much money on the hotel and the restaurant ;) :lol: :lol:

Welcome back Ton :D
Sounds like the trip was well worth it, if only to rule some out :)

Err could you just sort the weather out in the next 19 days please :D

Welcome home, sounds like a productive trip - even if, as Di said, just to rule some out ;)
