Today is a day of great wailing and gnashing of teeth. A quick trip to the supermarket this morning on the way out of Rome towards Assisi turned out to be more expensive than planned.
On return to the van we found that two doors had been forced open, the locks destroyed, and we had been relieved of the Laptop, I pod, camera, sat nav, a pair of smelly trainers and equally disreputable sandals, (they were in a smart tool bag)
The real disaster is not the loss of equipment which is not good news but we have lost over half the photos we have taken including what were to be the final posting pictures of St Pauls final resting place (As traditon has it)
Needless to say the police showed little interest other than to complete a form saying teh occurence had been reported.
Fortunately the blog remains a record and we had sent soem pictures home earlier when Suzy returned to UK (Please dont say you have lost the memory stick Suzy) We also have Chris diary which has a very detailed accoint of our events. Hooray for the pen and paper!
I think this will be the last blogg as we begin the journey home after Assisi so thanks for all who followed and all who commented, I hope you enjoyed it we certainly have.

Oh no! What a shame - and a nasty memory of Italy too. So sorry that we may not see many of photos. However, we in rural Hampshire have really enjoyed following the Blog.
