We agreed that our next stop would be over the border in Italy. We woke early to howling winds and wondered whether we should travel. Taking it nice and steady we made it to the border with Italy in pounding rain and 14 degrees (it’s been high 20’s all along).
Granted that nowhere looks good in the rain, but San Remo looked awful and things did not improve at the campsite. Having come from beautiful deserted French campsites, we were stacked in here cheek by jowl and paying twice the price.
The swimming pool wasn’t open (awaiting official authorisation) and no discount could be negotiated on the E15 we had paid for the kids for the privilege. All 3 of our guidebooks rate this site highly, but I fear not for long as most of our neighbours were complaining too.
As holidaying in a car-park is not our idea of fun, we packed up early, dealt with a burglar alarm issue at Prideaux Drive and swallowed the tolls and headed back to France.

The Atlas
Came onto Hotmail this morning and was so pleased to see all the 'blogs' complete with photos. Have read through them all and now I'll look at Atlas and follow your routes. You're certainly packing everything into this trip. Hope all goes well with Cathy and Tony's flight and that the Icelandic volcano keeps quiet so you can all enjoy your time together at Lake Garda.
