We are in Fiano Romano, northern outskirts of Roma, in a very cheap hotel when we should be lazing about in a luxury Agriturismo between Vicenza and San Gimigniano, north of Siena. Perché? Because my wheelchair broke. That light clicking noise in the left motor became a grinding rattle. I had to bounce to get moving. The previous day of sublime hill-town hopping had worn the poor thing out, as had the miles of cobblestones in Rome and Florence. Tomorrow the kind people at Pride wheelchairs Italia will replace both motors and send us on our way. Another travel disaster averted in the nick…
A few days later and I’m back on the road. The Roman wheelchair fixers were great, fast, organised and helpful, especially Federica. Both motors were replaced at half the price it would have cost in Australia.
