Settled in Sefro

 Friday 16th May 2025

Today was a quiet day after our big night and we are expecting another big night tonight. 


But first of all we had an important job to do.  The Knights game against Parramatta was on at 10am in the morning, Italy time.  By some technical magic combining the powers of Paul and John, we were able to watch the game on a big screen in the hotel Faustina lounge room/lobby/guest and family area. Great......


I am not allowed to talk about the game.


After the game we needed a walk and explored parts of Sefro we had not seen before.








look a cat






Lunch was at the local deli, restaurant, the only shop left open in Sefro and the only place to buy food except for the Faustina. We had a nice lunch there.







this is a recipe for happiness


The village is preparing for the Giro D'italia which goes through the village tomorrow. So pink balloons and bunting everywhere.




And later a special dinner with my cousin Lalla Maria and her three kids and grandchildren at the Faustina restaurant. Another feast.  We were joined by my cousin Gianfranco who is Lalla's brother, his wife Patricia and then also Carmine and Tiziana. She postponed a medical appointment so she could join us tonight and see the Giro tomorrow.

Again amazing food:

First time we have seen a menu at the Faustina








A few photos of the evening.



Hats for the giro

The boys in pink


After tearful farewells perhaps for the last time, we parted. 

Tomorrow the giro and tomorrow we leave for Rome.
