All Towing Posts – This tag marks all posts where we were travelling between stopping sites while towing the caravan. It does not include sightseeing trips.
Time to move on again and continuing our anti clockwise tour of the Peloponnese I picked out a Camping Card site in Koroni, aptly named Camping Koroni.
It’s reviews weren’t stunning, and, after the excellent Camping Ionian, we knew we may well be onto a hiding to nothing.

The plan today was to visit some nearby white villages but we awoke to moderate rain and enthusiasm for venturing out waned. A chat in passing with our nearest neighbours, and now new friends, Nick & Helmi from the Netherlands, resulted in a protracted coffee morning session.
The coffee morning continued, and, once the sun had passed the yardarm, turned into a beer and gin & tonic drinking session and a lovely chat about any subject that came up, of course, including Brexit 🙂
Nick & I did sneak off to watch the Monaco Grand Prix for a couple of hours too 🙂 Continue reading New Friends & On To Greece
Today we moved on again, to the coast of the Adriatic Sea. We wished to visit Matera and a few other villages in the Puglia area so we picked a site that would serve as a base for that. Of the Camping Card accepting sites in the area Camping Pineta al Mare had the best reviews so we headed here.

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 🙂

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.
