W I W T there were a number of adventures; one springs to mind....
There was an old Church not too far from the accommodation. It was undergoing extensive re-furb which required the bell to be taken down and was then laid on a pallet.

Spot the challenge!

It took four big lads to lift it but we managed to secret it (in a box with its own F731 - Description FHBU - 'kin Heavy Bell Unit) back to the Sqn crewroom. There was no doubt that it was going to be returned (on the next trip) however, when the WO Eng got a call from a rather frothing CO Carabineri (conversation went something like ' you canna toucha de wimmen but de holy stuff you no toucha', it was posted back with haste. The bell, dated mid 1700's, was returned having been lovingly polished back to former splendour.

I concur with the Deci Red, Chef hygiene etc. Great place.

Alghero (I think it was spelt) was also great for a weekend away.
