Very soon things began to get darker, and the first clap of thunder had Mike Lima bouncing all over the place! Thankfully we were soon over the Albenga NDB and turning for approach.

A very short hop accross the Italian border to prepare for an early start on Saturday to Corfu, we had a 20Kt tail wind right from the start, and some beautiful scenery.
The forecast wasn't that good, with heavy rain forecast for Albenga - only 30 miles away, but the sky was reasonably clear in Nice.

| Unfortunately, very low vis on finals led to a go-around, but we were soon safely on terra-firma, Mike Lima's first visit to Italy. Hopefully tommorow will be clear skys for our longest leg so far, to Corfu. | |
