About turn and arrivederci Italy.

 We had 6 wonderful nights in the Paestum area. It wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea but we loved it here and would have stayed longer if it wasn't for the constant threat of Italy being put on the quarantine list. We basked in the sun on the beach most days and I swam every day in the warm sea. The beach is about 30 miles long and as its the end of season parts weren't being cleaned but where we were it was clean. Again the area had the end of season feel about it, but that was part of its appeal.

Its definitely cheaper in this part of Italy and it was hard to spend your money at the site restaurant. One night our bill came to 25e but they only took 20 off us. Another night it was 38 and they only took 30 off us. Never got to the bottom of it. But anyway we left Sunday 11th.

We drove to a site south of Florence but pitches were soaking and toilets cold and damp so we drove a further 75 miles to the mountains north of Florence where evening temps went down to 2c. Camping Regimente had a heated toilet block and a cosy restaurant where we had a tasty meal with Jonesy curled up alongside us. 

Monday headed to the municipal site right in lazise, a beautiful fortress town on Garda. Temps hit 20c, not warm enough for a swim but lovely afternoon stroll and drink in the sunshine. Before arriving we hit the Lidl to stock up with Italian wines. Tomorrow Germany.
