So we woke up for our first day in Italy and there was another cause for celebration - it was Mrs J's birthday. We had brought all the cards that had arrived before we left, with us and decided to treat Mrs J to a rendition of happy birthday, on the hour, regardless of where we were...
I have to apologize in advance for the lack of photos of Mrs J on her birthday - the pictures are on Miss B's camera and the ones on her iPod we can't seem to transfer despite both devices having Bluetooth and being paired. Oh well...
We will look out for presents while we are away. I'm sure this will cost me more doing it this way but nevermind...
It was an absolute scorcher today - very hot - would say easily about 40 degrees. We had a quiet day exploring the campsite and getting our bearings. After lunch we headed for the pools for some kiddie dunking. The water was very warm - ideal for whiling away the hours. Then it was off to the beach with the wabobas - you will need to Google this if you don't know what they are... Suffice to say these are one of my best purchases - not sure how we came across these but really glad we did.
It's not often that I get to say this but the sea was warmer than the pool, and the pool was warm... The sand was so hot I needed to put on my shoes to walk to the water.
For tea we decided to try the Golf Clubhouse restaurant - there is an eighteen hole course next to the site. So we all got dressed up and went out for a pizza. I'm not going to keep count...
Then it was back home for a good night sleep...
