Mosaics and Turks

Then it was off for some coffee and ice-cream of course.

We didn’t have any coins, but Malcolm was perfectly content to sit in this airplane for quite some time regardless.

We then headed off on an hour long drive down a beautiful coastal road and stopped to have a picnic lunch here.

Yes it was beautiful and yes I would do it again in a second. But so you all realize that life is not always a picnic when traveling with kids, here is the reality of our picnic.  Malcolm decided it was too windy to eat outside and wrapped up all his food in a napkin and kept trying to make a break for the car (note windy hair above). Adam had to go to the bathroom (number two for all those curious readers) and after three false starts finally managed to find a spot that worked for him, but it took a while.  Then we had the hour each way in the car with no entertainment which meant a lot of counting all the red cars that passed by.

But despite all this, the boys were great and we decided to reward them by heading to beach. Ok, we were going to the beach either way, but it helped that they were great on our adventure all morning. We went to Baia dei Turchi or Turkish bay. To get there you have to walk through a forest and around a (safe) cliff but when you arrive you realize it was worth every second of that walk.
