My final italian mountain pass 04/08/2013

Today was pretty uneventful, mostly driving but I did manage to find a place to swim! I'm sleeping next to a dam tonight with a few other campers in an open lot which seems to have been procured by free sleepers. I am finally clean after being able to swim! There was a crazy storm about 30 minutes ago which has now cleared to a lovely sunset, my last sunset on the road for a while. Now that I'm heading back to society I'm a bit sad. Life on the road can be lonely but its beautiful and full of surprises. You never know where you're gonna end up!

Free time! 03/08/2013

Its now evening and my quiet little spot has now 3 campers in it which makes me feel a little safer but thankful for my peaceful quiet night last night. My hair has been getting to me being so dirty so today I spread dish soap (the only soap I have) through my hair and then poured my water bottle over it to rinse it out. My hair looks so much better now and doesn't stick up any more when I run my fingers through it! I hiked up the other side of this mornings peak, also just over 3000m but didn't meet any lovely italian men with spiked coffee. I did have a lovely nap in the sun though

The best things in life are free 01/08/2013

Its amazing to me that right now I'm lying in my van looking out over an incredible view, I'm almost the only person on the mountain and this is all free! I had the most hair raising trip up here along extremely narrow roads, in my van but it was completely worth it! I wish everyone could see and appreciate this. There would be a lot more happy people in the world if this was the case. Wow! So beautiful out here!
