It was a long trip but we finaly got to our first destination, the ferry was fab. I have now stepped into the big wide world at last with my dad as a guide.

Soon after we arrived we got changed and hit the town in the warm wether to explore the unknown, it seemed strange as it was a sunday evening and it was busy with people everywhere, unlike the uk.

We soon found a bar and chilled out with a drink and dad had somthing strong to smoke and was with the fairy's for a while, i even tried it but couldnt do it for long lol.

After a while we strolled all over town and found a nice italiian and had something to eat by now it was very late and we had been up since 1am,

so good night for day one.

Well folks, 3days to go, I'm packed, ready and twiddling thumbs. Car's been serviced, new brakes, new tyres (I'm looking forward to the Autobarn lol) and everything is booked. I just want to go now !

Leaving around 2:30 am Sun 1st july, ferry departs 9am. Should be drunk by 9pm and in a cafe for a ciggy (cough cough). Damn smokers lol, ooops, you can't smoke in the uk, then neither can I on return - bugger

Ok, well with 3 days to go I thought I would add the Villa bit, which is one of the main points of our trip.
Cutting a long story short, my grandfather (Hertz), died and my grandmother re-married to a Valentine. He had a brother, Fritz, who was married to Tilly. All, including my parents are deceased. Fritz and Tilly used to live in Varese.

Fritz and Tilly had no children, therefore, my brother and I are the closest living relatives. The questions now include: Is the Villa there still? who is living in it? what happened to the rest of the estate? etc. etc. The first step therefore is to knock on the door and say Hi.

I will keep you posted on this. BTW, if you happen to be a lawyer or have knowledge of italian customs etc. regarding wills, estate and property, say hi as I think we will need help on this one
