Headed for east side of Italy today. Decided to visit Firenze. A city about an hour away from the campsite and on our route.
Top tip: avoid ALL Italian city unless you are catching public transport.
Italian drivers are mad at the best of times; we have come to the conclusion that it's due to all the carbon monoxide poisoning they get going through all those tunnels. Well, city Italian drivers must have a death wish!
Rule1: scooters own the road and can travel in any direction, ignore stop signs and carry on their social lives whilst in transit.
Rule 2: lane markings are to be ignored, the inside lane can be used for parking if you want!
Rule 3: use of the horn is mandatory at least every 10 seconds and for any or no reason at all.
We reprogrammed Ozzy before we even got to the city centre, ' Ozzy, get us out of here!'
Passed an old lady who must have been in her 90's, tootling along in what looked like a grit bin on wheels! It was so small you wouldn't believe she could have fitted in it.
Took a route over the mountains on the Moraglione pass.WOW, what spectacular views, though another white knuckle ride for Sarah.
Arrived at campsite near Ravenna. Apparently one of the few nudist beaches in Italy. Full of letching Italian men so avoided the beach. Had lovely Dutch neighbours, 2 guys in a tent….Drum was the conversation starter of course. Nice site but rather noisy and Chavvy.We were invited to a Pasta Party (Butlins Style) upon our arrival, erm……..right, there's only so much pasta and the Birdy Song one can stomach before you end up eating your breakfast twice over.So that'll be a no then thanks! Weather overcast but warm.

The magic silver box was rockin and rollin again so I just lay low for a couple of hours. Got out soon enough though for a walk.Now, I'm the kinda guy who likes to do his business in private and on a hill or mound if possible.The b****es said that I've done a s*** on the top of the world!! Get me down from here, I'm feeling sick! Mind you I did have lots of Italian biscuits, McDonalds French fries, and a fillet-o-fish (happy meal or what)!! Kids, fast food is not good for you, just give it to me!
