Ciao once again!
I`m writing this while we`re getting ready to move on from Genova, but only 20 minutes down the road to Santa Margherita. I hope the drinks are as good as the name of the town suggests.
Yesterday, we went to the Chique Terre, the five villages by the sea. They were feet achingly beautiful and Ive got the feet to prove that! There is a trail that goes through the five villages and Katie and I walked yesterday which ended in Monterosso where we rewarded ourselfs by sitting on the beach and having a swim in the crystal clear waters of the ocean.
Italians have a similar saying to the Brits, "Italian trains eh?" - we found this out yesterday with a few of our trains delayed but we got over this by finding a nice waterside bar, having some wine and something to eat.
Pesto is said to have been invented in Genoa as a way of having a food substance that wont go off whilst at sea. This was an aid to prevent scurvy. Pesto is still a regional favourite and yesterday I saw lasagne alla pesto. My curisoity got the better of me however and I ordered it only to find sheets of lasange with pesto in between. I was disapointed, but I suppose I got what I ordered.
A little note from Katie: Just to let you all know I´m not coming home - I´ve decided to stay here with the sunshine and the pizza. Mmm, pizza..... no, just joking obviously, I´ve finally got a bit of a top tan so i´ll be back to show it all off to everyone!!!!! Lots of love :)

You will need to come back, as we have plenty of work allocated to you..
I thought you don't allocate work in an agile working environment ;)
Interesting website with a lot of resources and detailed explanations.
