Here are some photos from Dad's Europe pilgrimage. They went round Europe (Italy, Ireland, London, Paris, Portugal...) and attended a 'Family conference' in Madrid. My MIL went on a similar pilgrimage a week later and she said that she heard some people from Dad's group were robbed/ pick-pocketed!
We asked Dad whether it was true, and who it was, and he answered, "Yes", and "Me!"
Hahahaha... this Dad of ours has always been a man of few words, and never tells us much unless prompted. Sometimes even when prompted, all you get is 'grunts' in reply!!
So he explained that someone is his group got his camera bag stolen and another's knapsack or was it a pouch, disappeared. As for him however, he was only nearly robbed a few times. Each time it was women and they would pretend to talk to you, or create havoc, a few of them with babies, and get close to you and try to put their hands into your bags/ pouches!
Luckily each time Dad's friends spotted the sneaking hand, or Dad himself kept his distance. This was in Italy and apparently it is a very common occurrence! What drama!
