Another ACSI card site, again we just turn up. This site had worried us as to whether we'd get a pitch, the Monaco, only twenty miles away, Grand Prix weekend and we arrived to a queue of people trying to get in. As luck would have it they had one remaining pitch big enough to... Continue Reading →

Barco Reale, Tuscany, Italy
Another ACSI site. Camping Barco Reale. We haven't booked. We've just turned up. Yes they've got space, jump on the buggy I'll show you a few pitches. Zipping round it feels like a rabbit warren. We spent ages pulling the caravan up a mountain to get to the site, once there, time to choose a pitch,... Continue Reading →
Two Tour Tuscany
The final eight mile approach to our next caravan campsite site is why we chose it, we are winding and zig-zagging our way up a big big hill with dozens of full-kit cyclists, they are panting with exhaustion we are holding our breaths in anticipation of each corner. The views are amazing both North and... Continue Reading →
Piazza People Watching
Day out on the bus from the caravan takes us to Firenze (Florence) 4 hrs of walking and lunch under our belts, our feet are in need of a rest. With the sun blazing down at over 30 degrees we seek the shade on some steps of a piazza. It seems we're not the... Continue Reading →
Lake Garda, so hard to leave.
We instantly like Italy, all the roads are downhill, ... yes? After climbing out of Innsbruck towards the Brenner Pass we part with €9 at the Toll Booth, seemingly for a tin of peppermints. We then begin two hours of driving downhill and now assume Italy must be two miles below sea level, the car... Continue Reading →
Camping Fossalta, Lake Garda, Italy
After driving through a biblical storm on the Brenner Pass we arrive at Camping Fossalta in Lazise. As we enter the site the clouds part revealing clear blue skies. A man meets us at the car and sends us on a walk to find a pitch. Armed with a map off we go. The site is on... Continue Reading →
Wine holder
A great gizmo for a lovely day whilst camping or in the garden. Made out of stainless steel and made in the UK ,we've used this in a variety of ways. A wine holder that's not just for wine. A double wine glass holder and cooler is perfect for lazy summer days and BBQ's. Over... Continue Reading →
Austria in the Caravan
"Yeeeaaaaaahhhh, your brakes are on fire" was playing in my head, to a certain 'Kings of Leon' tune, as we descended the Mittenwald/Scharnitz pass towards Innsbruck. We have literally only travelled 43 miles from Garmisch to our new site Natterer See, near Innsbruck. Until the song started playing in my head it was a very... Continue Reading →
Natterer See, Innsbruck, Austria
After driving down the steepest mountain to get here, we are early. Another ACSI site and we're unsure whether they'll book us in early. It's only 1pm and a lot of sites like to make you wait till 3pm. Not here, told to go for a walk, find a pitch and let them know where... Continue Reading →
