Guess where wasn't built in a day . . . .

Left Salerno before daybreak to ensure timely arrival back at Centauro, our hire car people, to avoid any surcharge for late return, but expecting "this wasn't  damaged at pick-up " etc., etc.  No such problem!  Swift hand back and off to the Eternal City by bus and train.
Checked in to our hotel very early but fortunately our allocated room as ready.
Quick repast and off on shanks pony to see the sights.   Did the rounds of C, F, W.K., etc, mingling with the multi national crowds. Many languages to be heard but amazingly most participants understood xxxx xxx.  This applies in particular to BimBim from Senegal, and to all his mates selling pop-up nibbles trays and "silver" bracelets.  
Settled in a local deli at the back of beer o'clock and had some.
Now planning an unfettered excursion to a nearby trattoria seeing as it's our last night.  Fancy some vitello arrosto con patate frite e piselli al fungi, or qualie con polenta, or even saltimbocca alla romana, seeing as we are in that city.  Ah, but whatabout my accompanying veggie, I hear you ask.   Aye, right.(Addendum:  it was saltimbocca, 8/10, and a poor 3/10 for Sue's fettucine con porcini.)

A funny thing happened on the way to extra 1.
There's a hole in the roof where the rain gets in in extra 2, and there's nothing plain about the arborial extra 3.
So fans, that's it for a while.  Back to bonnie Scotland early doors ramorra.   C u in Tescos . .
PS: the gadget in main photo is assisting in making the holes for the next Metro line.
