After much "nagging" or "encouragement" I have decided to do a TR because the new guidelines for only one or two photos in the View from my office thread

I do have a reputation for starting and not finishing TR so we will see how it goes

I will do Sicily first then go back to Malta

This all started when I was offered some work in the UK and I was keen to get away from the Adelaide summer so everything is very last minute

I flew Qatar direct ADL DOH LHR and had a couple of days in London then a couple of days near Cambridge with friends..

Back to London then to Malta for 7 nights and Ortigia for 4 nights Taormina for four nights,

The thing I'm very excited about is I'm catching the train from Taormina to Milan which takes 19 hours and goes on a ferry, One of the few left in the world that does that, I have a private cabin with shower and toilet but have been warned that I may not get any water out of the shower,

In Milan I have a ticket to see the last supper then fly back to the UK.

As in my nature I then have about a week where I have no idea what I'll be doing but it's not a busy time of the year so I'm not fussed,

Good to book ahead in Milan. When I went to see it the first day, the guard said “l’ultima cene è finito!”.

Afterwards, go for lunch at Peck! https://peck.it/en

I have booked a very cheap hotel in Milan. I was going to stay at the Hilton again but it was booked out but because I’m a diamond they said I could have a room for only €460 but I passed on that. Even I don’t think I could drink that much in the executive lounge.

My ticket for the last supper is at 3:45 pm so I’ll see how I go.
