Not a metre has been driven today, our tyres are sat mid way up the ramps in the leafy field that is the official motorhome sosta in Mantova, Lombary, northern Italy (N45.16459, E10.81191). The showers here are clean, heated and have endless hot water. In fact, thinking about it, I&#8217;m off for one now. I&#8217;ll be back in 40 minutes&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Fantastic! Hot and endless. Right, where was I? Sun! Spirits are always lifted when the sun beams down and although it&#8217;s hardly roasting, we&#8217;ve synthesised some Vitamin D between us (except Charlie, who is a dog, and has to eat the stuff in his food). Fingers, toes and ears crossed it continues.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve had company too, Australians <a href=\"https:\/\/wildmoondog.wordpress.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dave and Bern<\/a>\u00a0(the link will take you to their blog) arrived yesterday and popped in for a cheeky mushroom risotto and a beer last night. At this point I should admit I&#8217;d felt some trepidation when I met these guys. I have an undeniable, well documented track record of drinking far too much when given the opportunity to catch up with fellow English speakers on t&#8217;road. Fortunately for me, and my liver, these guys were more restrained, seeing off what would be classed by most as a &#8216;reasonable&#8217; amount of alcohol, phew. Although they probably ate about as much alcohol as they drank, as I went a bit off piste with the risotto recipe, dumping almost a litre of white wine in it. Oops.<\/p>\n<p>Talking with travellers is always fascinating. Understanding each other&#8217;s motivation for moving around the world, discussing difficulties overcome and enduring, sharing on-the-ground experience of places to go, chatting about work, life experiences and even **TABOO ALERT\u00a0FOLKS** money.\u00a0\u00a0Dave&#8217;s a policeman and Bern a paramedic, both clearly time-served, focussed, and hard working. Both jobs I deem &#8216;real&#8217; compared to my 20 years surreal experience working in offices, where I never had to handle a single emergency other than the odd late PowerPoint presentation. They&#8217;re travelling with their two fabulous pooches, Scarlett (a Hungarian Vizsla, so called because of her red fur), and Tenzing (from the famous Sherpa, since he&#8217;s a Burnese Mountain Dog). Their tale of being hardly able to walk in Switzerland as each and every tourist wanted a photo with him, were hilarious.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_20170\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-20170\" class=\"size-large wp-image-20170\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/DSC01764-1024x697-1024x697.jpg\" alt=\"Dave, Bern, Scarlet and Tenzing\" width=\"620\" height=\"422\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/DSC01764-1024x697.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/DSC01764-1024x697-300x204.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/DSC01764-1024x697-768x523.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-20170\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dave, Bern, Scarlett and Tenzing.

Walking over to Dave and Bren&#8217;s van to grab the photo above, we felt the usual pang of regret at saying goodbye. Part and parcel of the way we&#8217;re currently travelling, brief encounters are inevitable, and while we gain a lot from each of them, we\u00a0also feel a loss. They&#8217;re heading for Verona and Lake Garda, we&#8217;re heading to, ah, somewhere else, maybe Parma, dunno yet.<\/p>\n<p>Waving bye, we headed into town to get some culture in one of the city&#8217;s palazzo (palaces). We never made it. The sun was too welcoming, and instead we walked around one of the lakes which bounds this side of the town, removing the opportunity for urban sprawl. Sat at a bench, looking out over the water, we figured this to be a great way to spend a Thursday afternoon.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_20178\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-20178\" class=\"size-large wp-image-20178\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/DSC01765-1024x512-1024x512.jpg\" alt=\"Beats PowerPoint jockeying\" width=\"620\" height=\"310\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/DSC01765-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/DSC01765-1024x512-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/DSC01765-1024x512-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-20178\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Beats PowerPoint jockeying.
