Day 3 and we are really enjoying ourselves despite walking miles yesterday, tired but happy. We had a fantastic multi-course meal in a small family-run restaurant in the Via de Ripetta, just off the Piazza del Popolo. Sorry but can’t remember the name but it’s on the right hand side, just before or after Via Angelo Brunetti.
We were strolling down to the Tiber near Ponte Umberto and leaning over the wall when a driver whistled David over. Said he was a stranger in the area and needed some directions. He quickly suggested he'd been a visitor to some pan-European event and had managed to be presented with some posh clothing as a present. Would we like some cheap? Pardon, do you think I've just got off the Ark? Goodbye con man or less words to that effect! Can I take your photo of you and your car to show the police? At which point a screech of tyres and he was gone!!
What a wonderful area to stroll around, even if you take a wrong turning out of St Peter's Square like we did. Ah! time for a leisurely coffee and bite to eat before heading to
Piazza Navona etc.
