We have arrived, so sorry for no post. With the party and all the celebrations we've not had time. A full account and lots of pictures will be coming shortly.

Congratulations Riccardo, Gianluca and Lorenzo! Well done on your fantastic cycle ride to Picinisco. We have been following your journey each day and have enjoyed reading your stories and looking at the photos posted each day. I expect Jennifer and Gabriella will be delighted to see you back safely (more tears I expect!!) Enjoy the celebrations and a long and well deserved rest. Have a great holiday with your family and friends. Love from Brian, Dorothy, Mark and Catriona x
Qui in Italia siamo tutti felicissimi del vostro arrivo. Che meravigliosa avventura, e che bello sapere che siete arrivati, che state bene e siete di nuovo fra le braccia di Jennifer, sani e salvi!!! un bacione speciale a lei e poi anche a tutti voi, da Ale Finlay ed il resto del clan MacKenzie Gori
PS Ancora piu' strano: mio fratello abita Montalto di Castro, abbiamo passato due giorni fra Orbetello e Montalto e abbiamo visto molte volte il Ristorante Vulci sull'Aurelia! Quando ci vedremo a Edimburgo se ne parlera'
Congratulations Lorenzo, Riccardo and Gianluca and well done, you did it and you did it in style. I have followed your progress daily and plotted your journey and at times I almost felt I was with you. The photos were all great and of course especially the one taken in Pisa. A wonderful memory for you all. I am sorry that I could'nt be in Picinisco for your arrival and the celebrations but I know you will be having a fantastic time. I shall look forward to hearing all about it when you return to Edinburgh. My best regards to everyone, Oresto.
Well done! What an amazing achievement! We've been watching your progress daily - in between working extremely hard of course. Hope you enjoyed the celebrations, look forward to hearing all about it on your return. Love Lee-Anne, Stevie & Christina
WELL DONE BOYS A GREAT ACHIEVEMENT NOW RELAX AND ENJOY
