Drew had 2 requests for our European vacation - 1) shopping is a must and 2) beach day.
Finally, the day has arrived for a trip to the sea, sand and sun. After much discussion and advice, we decided that the beaches closest to Rome would probably be way too crowded and not as nice. The further you get away from Rome, the nicer the beaches (so they say).
We headed to Sperlonga. Sperlonga is a coastal town in the province of Latina, in Italy. It lies on the Ulysses coast, about half way between Rome and Naples. It took us about 1 hours and 30 minutes to get there by train and bus. The town of Sperlonga sits on top of a huge rock. It really is picturesque.
The beach is lined with many hotels and public and private entrances. We rented an umbrella for 25 euros and camped out for about 4-5 hours.

| Ella braved getting her hair braided. This lasted only about 24 hours. |
