Hello Beachcombers,
It's day three on Elba and it's just beautiful.yesterday we spent close to our hotel at the local SANDY, yes sandy beach. We had a lie in and the a terrific lunch at thebeachside restaurant followed by an afternoon lazing in the sun.
Dinner at the hotel was again spectacular and we hit the hay. Next morning up and in the car to take in the island. Its rather large as it is Italy's third larger island, very lush and green unlike the aeolian islands and the houses and hotels are seriously nice real estate. Everywhere you look are the aquamarine waters of the Mediterranean - just lovely. But you definitely need a car here as the beaches and towns areas are situated across the island at significant distances as to avoid over development and make the most of a particular feature of that part of the island.
As I write this Siobhan is flat-out sun baking - 22 September and its around 27 degrees with a wonderful coastal breeze. It's a tough job people's, but somebody's got to do it!!
Off to Cinque Terre tomorrow!!!!

Lovely reading, parcels are easy with DHL worldwide - maybe a little more exie than trad post but seamless and they will pick up from you - any hotel or hovel worldwide! Also we are assuming you have factored in duty for your wine purchases! Have fun R & P xx
