Vilanova i la Geltrú

Sunday 28th March 2019

On Friday we made the final step of our journey back up to Barcelona to catch the ferry to Italy by returning to Vilanova Park in Vilanova i la Geltrú, a trip of 200km on non-toll autovia. The ferry to Civitavecchia, near Rome, is booked for 22:30 on Tuesday and the docks are only a 45 minute tow from the campsite. We arrived early afternoon and were allocated a large quiet pitch which, as is usual here, had electric hookup, water & waste all on pitch. Too easy! 🙂

Next Stop Italy

Wednesday 1st May 2019

Yesterday we arranged for a late checkout from Vilanova Park and had a casual day packing up, preparing to travel to our next stop, Italy. This activity was interspersed with coffee breaks and sitting out in the sushine, to wile the time away until our 5pm departure from camp.

We set off toward Grimaldi Lines Terminal at Barcelona docks taking the toll road so as to avoid the winding narrow coast road with the caravan. The expected tow time of 45 minutes became over an hour due to traffic but we had plenty of time to spare.

Marina Di Equa

Sunday 5th May 2019

Today we packed up and left Camping Roma Capitol to travel further south to Camping Sant’Antonio in Vico Equense. This will be our base to visit some sites in the Naples area. The campsite is a €20 a night Camping Card site. It has mixed reviews but is just across the road from the Marina Di Equa, a picturesque little port with numerous bars & restaurants, including a 2 star Michelin one.

We thought we could be comfortable in such a place 🙂
