This morning the villa was a flurry of activity. The technician came to try to figure out the TV, A/C and the oven. The housekeepers came to finish stocking the house and do some further cleaning. Josh left by 10am to drive to Rome. We had left a bag there filled with things we wanted to have here in Tuscany, but that we didn’t need (or have room for) in Sardegna. This included beach towels, wines, games, DVDs and bikes.

| Orbetello |
I borrowed the babysitter’s car (she was supposed to come with us but wasn't feeling well) and took the kids to Feniglia – the most well-known beach in this area. It is several kilometer long and sits on a narrow strip of protected wet-land that is part of the World Wildlife Foundation. It is really a beautiful beach although you have to take a long walk through the pine forest from the parking lot to reach it. The walk is wonderful and perhaps the best part of coming to this beach – that is as long as the kids go along with it.
By the time we drove to the beach and parked – 30 minutes, then walked to the water through the forest – 10 minutes, we only spent 40 minutes at the beach having a picnic (the water was cold!), before doing the reverse, and that was our 2-hour outing.

| The after-dinner standard |
Later, Josh returned from a successful day-trip to Rome, and we took the kids out to Orbetello for pizza – and it was really good pizza. We also shopped at Calzedonia so that Charlotte could have a costume (swimsuit) from Italia. For a grande finale, we took everyone to Le Logge for excellent gelato. It was a successful outing until we hit what we think was an owl in the road on our way home :(
