If you're lucky with the weather, you can at least hang your washing out to dry and avoid using the tumble dryer, which costs just as much. In any case, we've had a good time and are enjoying some relaxed "alone time".

A long fine sandy beach packed with people, sunbeds, parasols, inflatable crocodiles, pedal boats and windsurfing boards. Along the beach are high-rise hotels and restaurants.

Read moreWe are still at Piantelle camping on Lake Garda. So it's sun and bathing in Italy. The climate feels like Asia; humid heat and a temperature that is constantly above 30 degrees. Sometimes there is a heavy rain shower, but after a while it is over. And the heat is still just as compact...
