After a relaxing breakfast, we head out of town to the beach, along with just about everyone else in Rome.

We finally we find a spot in a scruffy car park with lots of other cars.
The beach boasts, The Perla negra beach bar & a stretch of sunny surf.

These 2 mermaids joined us for a swim.

This is our little encampment, 42 euros of shade & somewhere to eat our pannini.

We return to our car to find the back window smashed & the contents gone. Including a suitcase full of laundry as well as our fridge, Ians spare everything bag & sadly my handbag, cash & my phone.. Maureen was left along with the video camera & oddly my credit / bank cards..
No one was hurt & its only stuff.
We spent the next 90 mins with the lovely local police , who say they have an influx of Gypsies & have had an epicemic of crimes committed by illegal immigrants. We also made calls to the RAC & insurance people. We motored back to Rome & were met promptly by a tow truck..Goodbye car.

Now back to nice things Ian finds us an Indian to drown our sorrows in Curry.

Team Veck did good today, Cheers! The Food & staff at the Maharajah restaurant restored our faith in mankind, with the fabulous Sheek Kebab Ian said was the best EVER. We all enjoyed our meals, fabulous!

A phone call to the RAC is on the menu for tomorrow.

Goodnight dear reader xxx
