Wed.9th.Nov.
Decided Mondragone has provided us with sufficient mosquito bite and it's time to move on. Washed the van before we left. Thought we'd find a quiet spot by the beach on the way to Napoli to chill before the madness of the city. Easier said than done. This part of the coast is dirty and neglected, out of season, if people could see the rubbish on the beaches and at the side of the road they wouldn't holiday here in the season. We found a spot around Monti de Procida, not far from Napoli, on the beach, surrounded by hotels, closed for the winter. The beach was strewn with bottles and occupied by stray dogs. We had our siesta there and headed for a site at Pozzouli. Couldn't find it, got ensnared in the most horrendous rush hour traffic and witnessed 7 or 8 of the worst pieces of driving I've ever seen. The sort of driving people warn you about but you just don't believe possible. Seeing's believing!! By this time it was dark and we made the decision to head for site in Napoli and be done with it. So here we are, a couple of days earlier than expected on a car park, €22 per night inc. electricity, amps insufficient to boil kettle. Still no-one said it was going to be cheap. Weather has been a bit dull last few days but not cold. Looking forward to some more sun. Jan cooked lovely dinner tonight, pork and veg. Early night tonight.
