Our time in Sicily has almost come to an end now, and today will be spent packing and trying to squeeze everything into the car. It was full on the way down, and in the last three weeks we have accumulated more things (a few things that we brought, a few gifts from relatives from the children, a couple of kilograms around the waist, and oil, olives and other Sicilian provisions to keep Pinuccia stocked up for a few months), so it will be interesting to see if it is possible to fit them all in. Then tomorrow morning we will be leaving about 6.30am, in time to catch the boat from Messina at 11am. This should arrive at Salerno around 7pm, from which I expect a further 9 to 10 hours driving to get home, depending upon how often we have to stop for the children (the plan is that they will sleep most of that time) or for drowsy drivers. Pray for this trip; it will be a long time travelling with lots of opportunities for problems.
