Day 134

Day 134.Wed 11th August.
Trento.

A good early get away for the 250 K drive into the Alps and our next destination Trento. The forest clad mountains either side of the Adige valley make for a stunning drive. We love Italian service stations, great coffee; freshly squeezed orange juice and cornetti (Croissant) all served with lightning speed and €4.00 the lot.
Camping San Cristoforo is a good site, by lake Caldonazzo (no dogs in the lake but that don’t stop our girl). As expected the place is packed, most Italians holiday in the first two weeks of August. Children swarm like midges but it’s only for a couple of nights. Stretching our legs on a lakeside walk Molls makes friends with a Dutch family who play with her till it gets dark.
We can’t work out the Dutch at all. More of them travel than any other nationality and they have been both the most and least friendly campers we have met.

  2. It is all beginning to look more like home! Grey skies and threatening clouds. Suddenly you seem to be travelling a long way fast. I still haven't got a map so I still don't quite know where you are. Italy does have mixed landscapes doesn't it? But one thing seems to stay constant - the food! There seems to be a general theme that has followed you where ever you have been - the italian cuisine.
