ALSO!
Everyone should find out where their nearest "Pronto Soccorso" is located (Accident & Emergency type thing).
Ours is in Belvedere but I would assume someone from the Scalea end could confirm the location of the nearest for Scalea folk?
You never know when you might need to call on their services, Regards, Lesley
