Alis is trying out some progressive contact lenses and we had to go to the optometrist today for her second trial of about 3 hours. The optometrist is about 30 km away then we continued on for another 50 km up one of the pre-alp valleys and back. A lovely drive following the river followed by a short visit to the town of Sondrio, a place that is always a pleasure to visit. http://www.italiantouristoffice.se/sv/docs/1548.pdf

Anyway, despite the cloudy day it was a pleasant round trip of about about 160 km.

The progressive contacts? Alis is over the moon. She has taken to them and finds their use absolutely natural. She says it is like getting her eyes back (the way they used to be). On Thursday there will be an 8 hour trial and then, if all is ok, she will start using them all the time.
