One Last Whirl Through Sperlonga

We’ll soon be leaving this enchanting little town. It’s been everything and more than I imagined.

But I can’t tear myself away quite yet. There are a few more things to see. Put on your walking shoes and ramble around with Gino and me for one last whirl around Sperlonga.

Watch your step!

Did you notice the blue door?

There's Gino. I wonder what he's found.

Definitely Greekish.

I wonder who wears these? (I bet he's cute!)

Someone is doing their ironing al fresco. How perfect!

This is the best way to dry your clothes.

Hmmm...I wonder what's up here...

Or down here...Hey! That's Gino!

He found this quaint little passageway -- so steep and slippery, at times, that you need to hand onto these ropes!

See?

See what I mean?

You can see why I am enamored of this town.

Pretty pretty pretty Sperlonga.

This looks interesting! Let's check it out.

You know I’m going through here.

Way cool!

My reward!

Getting tired yet?

Are you getting tired yet?

Careful! These steps might be slippery.

Looks like someone is ready for the beach.
(Doesn’t he look guilty?!)

It's all worth it!

It’s all worth the effort, though.

Don't you agree?

For now, we’re going to leave Sperlonga and descend to that luscious, golden sand just below. No, not to swim (at least, not me), but to head straight to that mysterious grotto that Tiberius built.

It’s there, on the far end of the beach.

And now, down to the beach. Andiamo!
