We are back from Italy

It is weird to go on a 3 week trip to Italy, and then come home at the end of it and feel like you didn't travel very far. Paris is just a couple hours flight, and at the end of it you are expecting to feel like you flew home to Austin.

But maybe that is just me.

Italy was beautiful and the weather was perfect... except for on the island, where it rained a lot. Days 2 and 3 (April 1 and 2) we went to this little teensy beach town where we attempted to camp.

However, it poured rain the first night and we spend a good portion of the night in the bathroom, vent drying our sleeping bag. Then we crept around the campground in the dark checking out the grounds huts for unlocked doors. Luckily we found just one, and spent the next two nights away from the wet in those little brown huts.


Campgrounds in Italy go on a star system like hotels, and they are pretty awesome, like resorts almost. Swimming pools, bungalows, market store, restaraunt, hot showers and beach or lake access if they've got it.

We did get some sun in the afternoons tho, so all was not lost. And since it was low season, we pretty much had the town to ourselves.
