Day 6 will be a quick one, was at the meeting in the morning, spent all afternoon at the villa, and nothing of interest happened! Lol so thats that.

Day 7 –

Was a bit more fun but still unexciting, we had a really nice breakfast, in fact the best I have ever had! It consisted of –bread made 5 minutes away (saltless which they offer as standard here, vgood!) butter, philly, fresh tomatos grown locally, cheese local again, water melon (yep, local), and local eggs, which were bright orange inside! And soooo good that I had to –

And word about how tasty it all was soon spread




And so laurie decided to share –



After breakfast we chilled for a few as all the shops shut from 1 till 4 and then we headed for a local town called bracciano (I saw a snake on the way, a big one!) for a look around the shops, on the way we spotted cactus which I thought warranted a pic –



Now unfortunately I thought that everything opened again around 3 but it is actually 430, and as im impatient we actually headed there for 2, which meant loads of sitting around, on the plus side however I did see awoman carrying a dog like a child, which was well worth sitting on a stone step for 2 hours! See –



After that we did get to see a few shops (seperatly, I ditched those 2 for walking too slow) before heading back to the villa, (which on the way to I saw another snake, but it was squished) we had dinner then hutton and I went for a swim, which went like this –







and that was it really! heres a couple of pics from braccianno -

Yes gillian but the good thing about me suffering in the name of VIP is that everyone remembers me and VIP!!

BTW there's not much I know - but I do know that the cactus is in fact a ******* pear bush!
