Well I made it to the conference in one piece and got to catch up with some familiar work faces which was great to settle some home-sickness and catch up on the gossip back at work. Reggio was a really cool little city and we stayed in the old town so were really close to everything. The conference itself was really interesting and when i'm back i'll have fun implementing some of the new ideas that came up through the week.
Whilst I was at the conference, Gavin amused himself and really immersed himself in the little town, I think he got more of a feel for how day to day life works there than I did (involving many espresso's and gelato!). Gavin also managed a day trip north to Lake Como for a bit of kite surfing, and together we had an afternoon trip to Bologna mid week. Gavin also was quickly adopted as the token male in the group, who fended off the many guys preying on the girls, as they tend to leave you alone if you have a guy with you. The Reggio guys also looked to Gavin as some kind of god, as he always had at least 4 girls in tow ;)
The week passed so quickly, and with Gavin refreshed and me knackered, we headed for Cinque Terre with Bridget and Leigh (Supervisors from other Bear Park sites) after squashing in to our tiny Clio :)
