italy slides

italy bits


he who wouldn't love italy 
has a heart of stone. 

courtesy of a lovely Young Japanese couple - hope their pic on their camera gives them as much fun as we had  - but it was cold up there - 850 metres a top of Capri. even the romans abandonned the place in the end, leaving some ruins for 21 century nuts to explore.



 

South of Amalfi inland is a place called Paestum
 - the greeks built this before rome had any influence!! 
   still going strong in 2008, amazing. 
DAD SAYS
not trying to tell the world - just those that care. have had a wonderful and wonderfilled life so far. whatever you do never lose your SOH and remember you only get one innings, so hit the ball as hard as you can! 
this is me in fiji in Jan 2008 with the guys we love.  had the best dives ever and am in the process of producing the dive DVDs made with nici's and my underwater housing for the Sony. funny thing is when you're using the camera, you forget completely about all the dive concerns etc, but one trap i haven't overcome yet is the 50/50 tendency for the camera to autofocus on specs on the housing lens instead of the manta ray or whatever 10 feet away. because i'm half blind and the view finder is so small thru the housing i cant see when that problem is occurring.
if this works I'll share more stuff, some surf, some of the latest hobby/sport - RCyachting at great expense - some Italy trip and great Fiji adventures.
