Back on the road - for part 2 of the road trip of Italy

Friday 30th August
Simon and Candy's wedding went off brilliantly last weekend, so with that behind us we headed off for the second part of our Italian tour. I spent a day or so cleaning and loading up the van ready for a few weeks on the road. Not a trivial task since we've only got limited space; it's a case of balancing what you need with what you'd like.
 We crossed the channel on the ferry and first overnight stop was Germany - a neat site at Siersburg in a very pretty valley setting.

Siersburg campsite.
Facilities were impeccable although I couldn't help but notice the plethora of printed instructions and signs around the place; commands appeared to be the order of the day. The administration folk were efficient but didn't engage in friendly chit-chat. Despite it's obvious advantages, we were pleased to leave the place behind us.

    Come on now John. The Germans I know are very warm and friendly. If you want "labels, information signs and just signs," then try Berlin. Chilling, might be the sentiment to consider.A great start to your adventures.I am looking forwrd to your regular reports. Take care,Tony

    Hi Tony
    Thanks for your comment! Perhaps German people resemble Italians in that their public 'persona' differs from their individual ones. In Italy the private domain is very different from the private one .
