Return journey

Just a quick update.We're almost home. Stopped close to Mantova for a nightband tomorrow we will arrive in Gramizzola. We kind of rushed through all the countries because we want to go to Sardegna next week.🙂
I had a lovely time visiting my uni friends in Łódź. The girls didn't change a bit and it's always crazy and fun to be around them since I was always the quiet one.😉
After that our next stop was Wieliczka - the UNESCO site- salt mine in Poland. It was quite scary thinking to be 130 m under earth but breath taking seeing those incredible rooms and sculptures made of salt! There were even 2 underground lakes. The tourist part goes only to level 3 but the whole mine has 8 levels and goes even deeper. In total we did 800 steps.Thank god there was a lift to take us up at the end!It kind of felt like being in Moria- the underground kingdom of dwarfes in the Lord of the rings!
We only had one stop in Hungary and we went to a small thermal baths. Hungary is full of them. There were a lot of older people chilling and drinking beer. Think me and Franco were the youngest 🤣. We got a bargain of 5 euros for both tickets so we also had a shower! Never enough opportunities to have a shower cose you always on the water saving quest in camper!
Yesterday we past Kobarid town in Slovenia and stopped to have a small walk along Soca- river. Unfortunately we decided to have an overnight stop on the Italian side since it was only 12 km away and as I mentioned before Slovenia is not very friendly towards wild camping. We stopped at Natisone river close to the village of Stupizza and it's a great place for trekking, swimming and climbing unfortunately a bit abandoned. 
Franco couldn't believe his eyes when he saw a 3 kg trout and since it's a no kill zone he was heartbroken but not long now and he can fish again in Sardegna!!!

Isola di San Pietro

Meravigliosa!Wow! Where to start! So far one of my preferred places in our travels. Franco has been here few times before. But I didn't expect it to be so beautiful! It has this special atmosphere maybe because it's very small roughly 20km X 20 km. It's four of us, Franco and I, Liz our friend that often goes on holidays with us and Davide that stays here 6 months a year but comes from Travo which is close to where we all live. It's always great to have an insider that knows all the stuff about the island 🙂 They all spearfish so we have fish every day!!There's only one town on the island- Carloforte with it's majestic ficus trees in the main square. The town has everything you need with restaurants, supermarkets and bars.And obviously is very lively so if you want to have fun you go to the city and if you want to have peace you can find a quiet beach with few people at this time of the year  .The rest are all the ...

Discovering The Island

Image
Last 3 weeks has flyed by. Time goes quickly when you're in a good company 🙂. We had enough time to discover stories between the island, meet new friends and get bored with the same places🤣. Being on the island limits moving around, especially in camper because there aren't a lot of roads suitable for camper but we discovered them by bike. Many people that come to San Pietro for at least 20 years do notice that since the TV series L' Isola di Pietro the place boomed with tourism and not in the good way.  ( the house that was the main set of the series) The special atmosphere has gone. For me it was the first time and I loved it, but don't think I would like to be here in August when the amount of people exceeds the island capacities. There are some sad stories of abandoned places and vandalism by local youth which is quite difficult to understand.On the photo you can see this huge hotel complex that was never completed and now is abandoned and vandalized. ...
