Snoring in Cinque Terre

We´ve had a little problem with Stu's snoring of recent. The room and building often shakes. He claims he doesn´t snor, however. But proof in Cinque Terre told him different. We were all out on the porch chatting and the topic came up. The kids adjacent to our wall said it sounded like another train coming through. The two sisters had a room on the other side of the kitchen (2 walls from us) and didn´t know the train came on that side of the building. The walls are solid rock.

SOLUTION:
Nite 1- Barry took his clothes line and tied it to the upper edge of Stu´s pillow and stretched it across the room to his bed. Whenever Stu snored he yanked on the cord until he stopped. This reoccurred 20-plus times that evening. Our fear was someone coming from another room to use the toilet would trip.
Nite 2: Steve extended his hiking poles to the max, exposing the carbide tip. A few carefully placed pokes also solved the problem. He kept sitting up wondering what was happening. It was pitch dark.

So, lots of great stories and all is going well. Just a bunch of old men having alot of fun.
