Recovery Day.

SOLCIO.

Surprisingly bright after yesterday's excesses and exertions. Up and on the go at 9am.

Catch the 11:25 bus to join the beach party in Belgirate. More food and alcohol is available. Almost avoid the latter but Pierre, Medea's grandfather, insists that we join him in a glass of Prosecco. Stick to just the one and return to the site by 2pm. People were beginning to drift off anyway.

Spend the rest of the day relaxing by the van planning our route for the next couple of days. A storm arrives just gefore mass at 5:30. This is followed by a light tea of omelette and an early night.

The pitch next to us is number 13. We're beginning to think that there is a superstitious nature amongst camper as it stays free until tonight. The camp apears full so we're joined by two German girls. Rosie notices that they are having trouble with their tent. So, we hold it while they hammer the pegs into the rock hard ground.
