After an early breakfast which was very good we went out in search of the tourist hop on, hop off bus to find that we had an hour to wait. We decided instead to take the fun opt1on of a passenger carrying scooter like you see more frequently in Asia. It cost a bit more but what the heck, we all thoroughly enjoyed it. The driver was able to nip up and down streets that would have been impassable for a bus and we could stop where we liked. The cathederal, numerous other churches, the biggest ficus in the world, an anti-cuts demonstration outside the municipal builings where there were loads of caribineri on alert, all styles of architecture a shady square for a lunch of antipasti and of course a market with lucious fruit and veg.
Had a leisurely walk home stopping en route for icecream. Then it was time for a rest though Joséphine and I went out for a stroll to the bottom of our street and found the market that we'd been in this morning where this time round we came across an offal stall selling, bulls' testicles, cows'udders and stomachs. Can't think why there's no photograpic evidence of such culinary delights. We settled instead for buying some mortadella, olives and wine for our apéritif and a pizza in a nearby restaurant for dinner.
