Ceriale- Italy

Hi - this week finds us at a place called Ceriale. No particular reason apart from the fact it was a convenient place to stop en route to the south of France. We are west of Genoa and 1.5 kms from the sea, so within stiking distance of swimming in the warm waters of the Med. We are also back using ACSI sites now as the high season is all but over and ACSI have really good rates and offers out of season.

The town of Ceriale is within easy walking distance and has a nice promenade along the sea front where we can enjoy an evening stroll and stop for a Spritze before dinner. It's still very warm during the day and much time is spent either at the camp swimming pool or on the beach. 

One day we went walk a bout (as we often do) to Peagna, a neighbouring village up in the hills. It took us on a circullar route for approz 3.5 hours. We love these little villages where time seems to stand still. 

Needless to say, we have found a great little cafe where we pop in and have cappucino and pastries en route to or from town. The owner sees us coming and calls "Due cappuccini?" We sit outside on the pavement and yes you've guessed it - watch the antics of the Italian drivers!

We have been pleasantly surprised by Ceriale and it has been a nice ending to our stay in Italy - 14 weeks in total and we have only scratched the surface.

So, until next week when we hope to be in France, just outside of Nice.

Lots of love,

Harry and Kath xxx
