Un giorno alla spiaggia

Today, mia zia e mio zio and I went to the beach and the mountains. That's my aunt in the photo, dipping her feet in the ocean. As you can see it was a beautiful day.

We started the day out in Nemi, a town in the mountians famous for its bush strawberries (fragoline di bosco). They are delicious, and we ate some with some panna and gelato.

Afterwards, we headed for Fiumicino port, where there are plenty of millionaires and their yachts, private beaches and the general smell of money. Unlike Australia, here you must pay for your piece of sand. It may come with an umbrella, or you may upgrade to chairs, beds for your siesta and even a cabin kitted out with shower and day bed.... noice!Ah, la dolce vita!!!

We are off to Amalfi coast in a couple of days... woo-hoo!
