Thursday 18  September

Woke to no rain so hurriedly packed the tent and set of to find the Catacomb of Sebastian on the Appia Antica. Here for about 3/-, a monk showed us part of the eight miles of tunnel which were once the burial places of St. Peter and St. Paul. After the catacombs we drove south through Latina and onto the coast road at Sabandia. Miles and miles of sand beach here and so an "overdue" lunch was eaten.

On to see a women holidaying in a villa with some friends at Terracina. Had lemon tea and cakes, discussed the beautiful villas we had seen at S. Felice and left about 5.30 for the long drive to Sarrento. Driving through the chaos of Napoli traffic at night, with no idea of where to go is not the best of ideas – but eventually we arrived in Sarrento at international camping at 9.30.

The night drive along the coast road was fantastic – shimmering sea and twinkling lights. During the night it really rained – so much so that water was under the ground sheet. Thank goodness for a good tent.
