22th August - A break from Drilling

After three days at the drill, we decide that the larger drill rigg is required to improve the quality of the cores. While waiting for this to arrive, we take experience some of the activity back at OGC.

Giovanni was instrumental in organizing a break from our usual nightly pasta regime. We headed into Ancona for dinner at the "La terrazza" (I think) - a seafood resturant with quite a reputation amoungst those few that know where to find it..
