    we left this morning and are now in JonKoping Sweden, and we have 50/50 cloud cover here.
    tomorrow we will hit Dessau, then Padua, then Naples. Then I shall relax for a week.

    The cloud is thinning as I speak. 30% now

    We're up in the highlands next week - would be a bonus if we got to see them.
