End of our first week on 1st farm

Ciao tutti,

Just a quick post to say we have not been kidnapped or sold as slaves, although it feels like we work like slaves ;)

We only have a dial up connection here in Tuscany so have to keep this quick. Having heaps of fun and staying with a really cool family (five kids!). Days consist of four hours work from 8-12 each morning then afternoons doing whatever we like - swimming in the river, mushroom picking, playing with baby chickens, eating as much honey as we like and learning how to be beekeepers!

The family live on completely organic food - pretty cool. For tea in the morning, instead of grabbing a tea bag they go to the garden and pick fresh leaves to boil!

Will try to add pics in the next few days and update all the Greece pics.

Baci (Jo is making me write in Italian!)

Alex and Jo
