If you having been paying attention recently to the events taking place in Amalfi, then now is the time to. Since May 29th, the Ancient Maritime Republics Regatta has been unfolding in Amalfi. If you have never heard of this regatta before, here’s a quick run-down…. It “is a sporting and historical rievocation under the patronage of the Italian Republic President” and happens every year in a different city, normally in June. Now, it’s not to late to join in the festivities because tomorrow is the last day and they have lots of fun lined up! There is an historical parade at 4.30pm from Atrani, a Marine Republics fashion show at 9pm and the final spectacular, a fireworks show!! I went on Thursday and it was awesome. There was a storytelling show called ‘Le Pirate’ and everyone was enthralled. Just because the Ancient Maritime Republics Regatta has ancient in the title, it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s boring!

Go Lewis Hamilton! Ok so if I was being completely neutral I would be saying congratulations to Fernando Alonso on his win at the Italian Grand Prix in Monza but as I’m a Brit and I’m not, I am saying congratulations to Lewis Hamilton for coming second. Could we have in our midst a new future British Formula 1 in the form of Lewis Hamilton? Or will he be another Jenson Button and be promising in his first season and then fade away……
