    looks like you had a great time. Keeping jewellery safe was an issue for Mrs K on our recent month in Europe, she dropped her engagement ring in the van as we were driving. The ring which is over 100 years old as it was my grandmothers was nowhere to be seen so at the next ayre I had to start stripping the cab floor out and thankfully after 20 mins found it under the sound deadening mat. Cheers K.
