2.00am, and woken by huge thunderstorm, with continuous lightning. Our awning began to suffer with a huge weight of water, so we braved the elements and lowered the legs so all the water poured out, and regained its proper shape. An hour later, there was a small crack, and the awning on a German camper opposite (which was the same Fiamma one as ours, and showed evidence of previous storm damage) was no longer standing.

3.30am, and I made a cup of tea since we weren’t able to get back to sleep, and got out the laptop (as you do).

4.00am, and at last the rain eased off, and the thunder seemed to drift away, although the sky was still occasionally lit by flashes of lightning.

4.04am, and the rain started again.

Eventually, we got back to sleep, and woke up ay around 8am, to a cloudy and overcast day.

· Don’t know what we did for the rest of the day, apart from walking into San Felice del Bonaco, to get a refill for our CampingGaz stove. And popped into the Furious Bar on the way back, and had a number of drinks. Brought nibbles, and then brought more because they remembered Annie was vegetarian. We left stuffed, and unable to have the planned barbecue. Never mind. Que sera sera, and all that.
