Thankyou MF. All well here. I've missed you all too.
We have just been taking stock of our lives and simplifying.
You are obviously having an amazing trip.  :D

Welcome back Michelle.
I'm loving the commentary almost as much as the photos

After a rainy day resting their stomachs he duo headed out for the Piazza Navona for dinner. They started with a salad MF says but I did not receive a pic of anything that healthy

So we have here Lasagne



I have to say it looks a lot nicer than that other horrible place.

Then Penne Arabbiata. One of my favourites. Hope there was plenty of chilli.



This small meal was followed by a walk around the Piazza



Well endowed fluter. Good shot MF.

While MF and her DH are walking I will show you a pic from a friend who is currently in Bangkok. This was taken in the lovely lobby of The Oriental Hotel. Just your normal flower arrangement you might try at home.

After a five minute walk around the Piazza the duo were once again ready for some food so they chose a lovely restaurant where they served a modest chocolate dessert called Tatrufo Nero which means huge chocolate calorie laden over the top indulgence for starving tourists!



I hope they sleep well as when they get up they are off to Copenhagen.

Beautiful photos of the fountain.
That's one huge flower arrangement.

I never saw any limoncello. UMMM.

Will we see The water of life or Akavit for breakfast?

Thanks Gert and MF. The photos are wonderful and the commentary adds to them.  :D
