Nestled in the mountains 31/07/2013

So it seems that parking lots at gondolas are fair game for overnight camping, there are loads of campers here but whether they stay the night is another thing. Ended up on a very interesting hike today through the old battle tunnels the italians used during ww1. Very interesting but no luck finding the via ferrata, that's tomorrows plan. The mountains here are incredible! I'm enjoying looking at them for the mere cost of €4.50 cos that's what a beer costs here! Heart failure! No drinking for me if that's what a beer costs!

Campsites :( 29/07/2013

I cheated tonight, I went into a campsite, but I remember why I like wild camping so much, its partly cos its free but also cos you have the place to yourself, its secluded and the other people there are all like minded. So tomorrow night will be back to wild camping

What an interesting time I've had so far! Last night I tried to get up to a lake to sleep but it seems that the flooding recently washed some of the road away so I stopped where the road stopped, right next to a river surrounded by forest! I'm very proud of jerry for driving so well on those dirt roads. I fell asleep to the sound of a river rushing by and was asleep the instant my head hit the pillow! About 2 hours later I woke up in a panic wondering where all the kids were! I really felt like there should be kids with me and I started panicking about having lost them. I thought I'd fallen also inside and they were forced to sleep outside so I turned on the van lights and started calling for them to come back! It took me around 5 minutes to calm down and realise there were no kids and I was on holiday! Omg! After that I slept so well, until 10!! When some hikers walking passed woke me up. No one disturbed me and it was a cloudy cool day so sleeping in went well! Today I bought a gps for my travels and a new mattress and pillow for my bed in my van! Good night sleep for me tonight. I'm on my way to italy to the dolomites but following the gps got to a point where it told me to get on the ferry! I'm now taking a train across somewhere with my van in front of me! Hopefully I find a good place to sleep tonight! I'm still tired!
