To our surprise,the olive farm owner came to his farm as early as 6.30 am in his old car, but then I was already awake, as he came out from his car, I approached him trying to explain why we landed and camp in his farm and we will be leaving in a short while.From his friendly expression and hand langugge,I knew he was trying to tell me " No problem,no problem,take your time!" With no worry and hurry,we continued to cook our breakfast and was started rolling at 7.10am, our earliest so far. Mostly downhills for the 1st 35 km, and the traffic became heavy once we joined the SS2 main road to Rome, more like a Dual carriage highway now,but fortunately there is enough shoulder for us.We turn into Prima Porta which is just outside the ring to look for Tiber Camping, but gave up completely and settled for Happy Village Camping instead. 9.5 euro per person with 1 euro gov tax, we managed to bargain for tent free. There is a shuttle bus service provided by the camping to a train station to the Rome centro.

Giant Tent

And our tents
