Dave the motorhome is on a quayside surrounded by concrete pontoons which are no longer sea worthy near Porto Empedocle on the south west coast of Sicily. I've finally been brave and had a go at a video diary. No make-up, no hair straighteners and with mosquito bites on my noggin, this is me on the road!
