*** [[Italy July 2006]]
----
Two weeks after seeing Laura for my birthday in Germany, we met up again in Cinque Terre, which is near Genoa / Pisa in Italy. Very pretty spot of coastline. Rented a small, dingey flat, Sal came to stay as did Laura's host sister annelene. Didn't do much other than swimming, eating and walking. Crystal clear water, good temperature but there were some nasty stinging jelly blubbers that got us all except Sal.
