Cervarezza is a small village in the Apennine mountains of Reggio Emilia. Our campsite is situated at 3250ft and offers fantastic views of the mountains and surrounding area.
After leaving Pisa we used the motorway to get to La Spezia then headed inland for a 70km drive up and over mountain passes and hairpin bends. Although quite warm during the day the temperature drops early evening and we have had to dig out our fleeces and long trousers from our storage boxes to keep us warm - even had to get the quilt back on the bed.
The campsite is terraced and we are on the highest terrace on the site. The following pictures show the views at different times from our spot on the terrace. A bit different from the sardine packed site at Pisa.
We have had a quiet, relaxing week, partly because of a change in the weather - 30 hours continuous rain accompanied by thunder and lightening storms. The weather forcast for next week looks more promising so we have decided to stay on and hope to explore the national park on foot and bike.
See you all next week when we hope the blog will have a bit more content than this week.
Lots of love
