We returned from Rome as we arrived, by train and bus, but on the return journey there were a lot more people and the carriages we full, with standing room only. The No. 01 bus passed by a supermarket, so we jumped off and did some food shopping to replenish our stock for our 130 mile jour my to the Maddalena islands.

After returning to Arctura we prepared ourselves for a farewell meal for Elaine. In a local marina restaurant. A truly fantastic meal consisting of a Spaghetti Vongole starter, and Fresh Turbot, whilst Ed and Elaine had Sea Bream. All served by a charming Bangladeshi waiter, who filleted the fish perfectly and looked after us like royalty. And so off to bed for a early start the next day.
