This Tent comes with Underfloor Heating
The ride to Anzio, where we
stopped for a picnic break, was pleasant. We asked at a restaurant for coffee,
and found out that mid-morning coffee is provided by a bar not a restaurant. So we settled for a delicious Italian ice
cream instead. After the hectic ride through Rome city centre it was really
good to just sit in the sun, look at the waves and watch a mum with her little
boy having great fun and success with a kite. Perfect windy conditions. In
fact, almost a little too windy. We
really need to hang on to keep upright and after 250kms of urbanisations and
highways and sand dunes we called it a day. Normally we start looking for a
campsite at about 4pm, but the wind today caused us to start searching by
2pm. We probably pulled in at about 5 different sites. "Sorry, only opening June
1st". "That’s a pity ‘cos its only May 19th."
We passed huge plantations of apricots, fields of corn and polytunnels of tomatoes. The flat agricultural lands went on forever, occasionally interrupted by round-abouts. To break the tedium we branched off randomly left at one round-about and there in front of us was a gigantic Roman columned colossus. It was startling in its size and completeness and took us quite by surprise. I had studied Latin at school and our Latin teacher was as bored as we were doing all the grammar and conjugations. Whenever we got the chance we would ask him about Roman life and culture and then his eyes would light up and he would tell us great tales of wars and architecture and road-building. This is what we saw in front of us, a fantastic relic. I was thrilled.
