Many walk ahead of the saint, while the stronger and able bodied men walk alongside the saint, swapping every few hundred metres to share the load.

A selfie for the two girls with the heart of Lake Scanno. For a little while it seemed they were not going to make it, as they came from the wrong direction and doggedly had to make their way through the undergrowth.

We do have such a fondness of this spot with this wonderful angle of the castle of Roccascalegna. Every visitor must expect we will come to this bend in the road!

Vasto is a nice city, with a great old town feel, good dining options, and a cool breeze from high on the hill above the ocean.

We found a great atmosphere at a restaurant along a portico. We had come armed with a list of "must try" foods, that a Bomba friend had equipped Jo with. OK, so we didn't try them all, but three of them did find their way on to our table for subsequent demolishing.

Sheldon Riley performing, representing Australia in Eurovision. We were astounded at the amount of Australian representation in the crowd. Everywhere we looked, we could pick out Aussie flags. So awesome to see so many out there supporting our entry.

Only a few rows back, behind the "green room" on the floor of the arena. Eurovision was an experience so much fuller than any broadcast version could possibly be.
