Yesterday, as we drove south in Sardinia, we felt a bit cheated. Firstly, we did not get out to the beaches at Emerald Coast with our motorhome and secondly, it felt like we left the charming small roads and deserted nature of Corsica behind us.

Read moreAfter three days in 'internet shadow' on the wonderful island of La Maddalena off Sardinia (we blogged from the tourist office), we wanted a campsite with good WiFi. We drove to Centro Vacanze Isuledda in northern Sardinia, where we (so far) have an ACSI discount and pay 18 euros/day.

(We have budgeted 20 euros/night during our Euopa trip and now that we are approaching the high season, most campsites cost more.) Once we stood there, watching the sun sink into the horizon from our door, we realised that there are so many more reasons to free camp!

Read moreCorsica-Sardinia ferry, how does it work? Good in our experience. Ferries run from Bonifacio in southern Corsica to Santa Teresa in northern Sardinia. The Corsica-Sardinia ferry takes 50 minutes and is easy to continue travelling with your motorhome. The ferries are very frequent and we were there 45 minutes before.

There are bridges around all the small islands, or you can take a Vaporetto (bus boat) or gondola around the canals to get to the Rialto Bridge, St Mark's Square and other sights. Squares, churches and alleys galore and the Doge's Palace in its pride and joy. cruise the canals of the lagoon and discover Venice!
Read moreAfter five days at the exclusive Jesolo International campsite, we are a bit spoilt for luxury and exclusivity. Just before we left, for example, we discovered that those who booked an "ultra pitch" each have their own bathroom, reserved just for them. How about that? Anyway, now we've moved on to a completely different place ...
Read moreThe luxury campsite Jesolo International is located in Lido Di Jesolo, Italy. Here, close to Venice, you'll find Europe's longest pedestrian and shopping street and a huge, luxurious campsite. This is 'all inclusive' in the true sense of the word.
Read moreNorthern Lake Garda in Italy - perhaps the most beautiful part of Lake Garda! Here is, among other things, Riva del Garda, where we are right now. Riva del Garda is located in the province of Trento, and here you will find everything from historical sights to beautiful beaches surrounded by high mountains and a wonderful climate with lemons and olives. We can also tell you about a great motorhome campsite we found.
