Day13 Sestri Laventri to Salsomaggiore

After we bugged out of the hill side Vampire site at early o’clock we head back to Sestri Laventri, as I was sure I saw a Camper van Parking place, we get into the town and do the obligatory twice round tour and we suddenly see the sign for the parkeggio, we scoot in. It pay and display, as the Italians don’t really like explaining anything a Nice German tells me its 7 Euro 9-19:00 after which its free….. Yes free max stay 36HRS, so we missed this place right on the med at least twice in the preceding days, and we have all we need in the van to stay in this parking place right next to the med with free bus transport. ok semi-rant over. I check the change we have 2 Euros and shrapnel, so off to COOP its about ½ a Klick away, Both Bee and I split up with a ten Euro note each, I get a 70 cent bottle of water 4Euro in change, Bee get a Bar of Chocolate!!!! Between us we have the change for the Parkeggio, so we park up and get the bus into town. it’s a great place we swim in the med, eat food, eat gelato, drink Cappuccino, and take a few piccys. Now I must point out that when I was fiddling with the camera I left it on B&W, so Bee check the Pictures taken and is not pleased (Note a fair amount of Understatement). I place Bee at an amazing café overlooking a bay, and then run about town and retake the pictures.
We then hit the Autostrada again and head North, in the direction of lake Garda, the only Campsite on our way is at a place called Salsomaggiore , we find the town and its very nice, and follow the campsite signs, it’s a LONG way out of town, and we settle in, have a swim in the pool, sort some domestic stuff and have a nice meal. The Mossie’s however have eaten at Bee’s Ankle and its started to swell, Off to the Farmacia tomorrow me thinks.
Most of the piccys will be geo-Tagged by the time we get them uploaded.
