Oct 4th to Oct 7th: Ciao Italy!

We arrived yesterday at Montopoli where the site is almost empty, as can be seen from the photo. You won’t be able to see that the caravan aerial is missing, replaced by a small silver lump. That’s half a coke bottle secured by elephant tape. The aerial snapped somewhere en route but, fortunately, was prevented from falling off by the cable, so simply rolled around on the roof. Elephant tape is the most wonderful instant repair solution and secures anything including, presumably, defective elephants.

The weather today was sunny and warm (26º). We spent a lazy day on site followed by a pleasant evening walk up to the picturesque small town of Montopoli (nearly the board game!). We are conveniently located 25 miles from Pisa or Florence and well placed to visit most parts of the region.
