DON'T STOP THE BOATS!

Just a reminder whilst on a fab holiday that some people's worlds remain in chaos and suffering. Otranto port is presently harbouring Conscience, a boat that is trying to enter Gaza with peace campaigners/aid workers. They recently came under fire from drones whilst in the Malta area. About 100 people are due to try and sail again for Gaza on 3rd October. Many of them are occupying the mobile homes on our campsite and occasionally I listen to their morning briefings. Great bunch of brave people from around the globe.

Approaching our fourth night in Otranto.

Really enjoying this place on our second visit. Bikes are out for our daily ride down to the far northern beach area for morning coffee. Water temperature must be around 25 so really comfortable. Been getting 2 swims a day in. In the evening the old town has a great vibe about it with festive lights, fantastic choice of restaurants and bars. Not too packed and the battlement walls around the city further enhance it's beauty. One of our favourite places in Italy.

Just arrived in Otranto

Termoli overnight stop.

Always the exceptional stopover, the port camper stop at Termoli. Works out 29 euros with 10 amp electric. Cheaper than last visit and the place has improved with

lovely grassed pitches. 5 minute walk into lovely old town where we had one of the best meals of the holiday selection of meats, steak, lamb, pork, sausage for 16 euro. Met a lovely Jersey couple who knew some friends from Jersey. They got me thinking when they said they were staying a few days. We could easily do that, but not this time as we're booked into Otranto.

Entering our third night at Camping Riccione.

Pleased with myself for discovering this outstanding site. Just paid for a third night. The 27 euro acsi price rises to 31.80 with environmental and tourist taxes but still worth it. Restaurant serves good food at good prices. The pool is always empty, if you need it there's a gym. Site has a lot to offer. Went with Jonesy to the beach yesterday as there is a small section that allows dogs.

Riccione

Just arrived at Camping Riccione between Rimmini and Catolica . Site quite empty with omly about 10% of pitches occupied. Had the amazing pool to ourselves. Earlier walked to impressive beach, gorgeous mid September sunshine but there are suggestions it will change in about 4 days time,becoming much cooler.
