On Tuesday we slept in. It wasn’t until 1pm when we headed north to Terracina, another beach community. Terracina has been inhabited since antiquity and there was a Roman template perched way above the town that we could see from the beach. We found a beach club to have lunch at (a yummy tuna salad for me, French fries, a chicken cutlet sandwich for Paul, and pasta with sauce for Miss M).

And then spent a few hours at the public beach. It was windier in Terracina and the breeze and waves felt good.

After yesterday’s visit to Sal de Riso, the kids wanted more pastries so we stopped at La Bottega Dolceamare in Salto Covina on our way back to Sperlonga. A small place situated across from a fields of sunflowers, we had two waters, a piece of plum tart, a piece of apricot tart, a small rhumbaba, an oreo cheesecake square, a croissant that they stuffed fresh with Nutella…all for 8 Euro. We devoured it so quickly we didn’t get a pic. The kids went back inside for a second order to bring back to the AirBnB (see pic) for 12 Euro.

At night, D went to play basketball with his new friends, Miss M stayed in, and Paul and I went to Bar La Piazzetta in the borgo for drinks. D then joined us there for dinner. It was a relaxing evening sitting in the piazza, sipping cocktails and nibbling on prosciutto, cheese and melon.

A nice end to a relaxing day!
