Lazy day….soooo hot, we didn’t feel like braving the crowds, traffic and heat of Rome today. We enjoyed a nice coffee and croissant on the decking outside our bungalow and just chatted and updated stuff. Before we knew it hunger pangs told us it was time for some lunch. Dot popped down to the supermarket and bought ingredients for a picnic, a lovely antipasti style lunch with wine. This included Emmental cheese, salami, mixed salad, the tastiest Italian tomatoes ever and some bread rolls, followed by grapes and washed down with a nice vino blanca. 
We spent the next couple of hours putting the worlds to rights in the warm sunshine until it was just too hot to sit out any more and time for a siesta, true Italian style…. later time for a swim.
The pool was so inviting and not too busy with two small jacuzzis similar to the hostel in Venice. We wallowed in the jacauzzi and chatted to someone from Cumbria who was very interested in our travels. After a while Dot left to meet up with one of her Nepal contacts, who had adopted one of the Nepalese children and is raising her in Italy. I remained by the pool for a while reading in the hot sun, slapping on the sun block.
Eventually I returned for a shower and to prepare to leave in the morning, another early start at 8 for Busabout.
