Thunderstorms during the night and rain when we go up meant a change of plans. None of us could face more soggy tramps through the streets of Rome, so Simon and Katie travelled to our local Metro station and we picked them up in Henrietta. The weather did improve and the sun shone for some time but there was a strong cold wind and we were soon treated to some more rain.
It was great to have a long relaxed chat and to be warm and dry in the motorhome whilst watching the rain pouring down outside. We had a couple of games of cards and a game of Ludo and Jane won all three, despite all of our combined attempts to thwart her in the Ludo.
During the sunny spell we decided that we needed to get some fresh air and exercise, so we put on many extra layers to stroll along the promenade. The sea was extremely rough and the wind was whipping up the sand on the rare stretches of beaches that were visible. All of the beaches are private and most are a long way from the promenade, hidden behind large buildings and it is often not even possible to see the sea. We all came back, wind-blown, sand-blasted and with the taste of salt on our lips.
