Rome and UK, , 16 July 2005After nearly four months sailing for a total of 1300 miles we arrived in Rome. It has been a super year. Spring in the Med.with only a few tourist and lots of flowers was wonderful. The sailing has been interesting too with so many islands to visit and lots of sunshine. On route we stopped in Formentera, Ibiza, Menorca, Mallorca, Sardinia, Corsica and Elba. Coastlines are often dramatic and arriving by sea was exciting. Near Rome at the end of June Kakadu was lifted out of the water and we returned to the UK. We plan to go back in September when the Med is cooler,less busy and cheaper!!
