We have black spot algae appearing on the walls of our swimming pool. We understand that the best product to use is Lo Chlor black spot eradication but this doesn’t seem to be available in Italy. We are able to get it in the U.K.

The Covid vaccine certificates showing on the NHS App are now recognised by the Italian Green Pass scanning system. But make sure you show your second vaccine bar code as the first one creates a fail.

Agreed- this Is great news. Together with the cost of Covid tests coming down in the U.K. it makes trips to italy more feasible.
Interestingly at no point were we contacted during our 5 day quarantine recently.
We also sent off to the NHS for a paper copy and requested a copy of the accompanying explanation in Italian. Not used it yet but might be handy.
Yes- 5 days quarantine. Next review 31st August. Although our daughter has just finished her 5 days and nobody contacted her to check. They had their day 6 test st a local pharmacy but weren’t sure why they bothered as no one had asked them about it. We are on Day 3 of isolation but quite happy as the sun is shining!
We found the bar codes on our NHS App.
under Get Your NHS Covid Pass- Travel- Covid Records Found- Details (use the second bar code).
I was amazed it worked although we e not been asked to show it in italy yet - just in France on the way down.
We have printed copies but not tried to use them yet
Thank you for all this information- it’s good to hear as we are heading back next week. Which testing centre did you use- we too live in Guildford?

Re entering Switzerland, I just read that Switzerland is only accepting Astro Zeneca vaccinations from within EU.
When we drove to/from Italy last month we didn’t have a trailer but the car was packed to the gunnels and no one was interested in what we were carrying.
Bologna airport has testing facilities but the website states that it is only for those who are flying. As we drive I checked out the free Red Cross testing at Bologna train station (also at many other major stations). It seems that the antigen test they offer meets U.K. entry requirements with results in half an hour and in English. For us, this seems to be the best option.
We asked about getting the tampone per viaggio at a large city centre pharmacy today. They said they can’t do it and referred us to a private clinic. The cost would be €110. This contradicts your experience Castelforte.
