I found a section that was really crowded, and headed back to our secret place in the dunes. Shortly afterwards, two policemen came towards us with their guns out, shouting 'Scandalo publico!' Babis and Paolo just had time to bury the dope in the sand. The policemen told us we were on a beach reserved for the President of the Republic.
We were all about to be arrested, but we managed to bribe the police with cigarettes and were told to leave immediately, which we did. This was Italy, after all. No crime so big that a couple of ciggies can't solve it.
Babis and Paolo told me how it had felt to be naked, high, and have a gun pointing at you: pretty scary. I will (probably) never know this exact sensation.

Who says? It's more a societal norm that says so. Somehow, I'd have thought it more freeing to go to a nude beach: the one place you don't have to be a toned beach kitty to enjoy.

Tracer? Voyeurism? At least, bring a proper camera. Otherwise, you'd never be able to prove it.
