Monday 7th May - We have arrived on the furthest point south we are going to travel to in Italy before heading across Tuscany to the eastern coast. The terrain has certainly calmed down now with wider roads and far less hairpin bends!. We arrived yesterday at a lovely campsite beside a lake in a nature reserve just outside the city of Pisa. With excellent weather it promises to be a great day tomorrow (8th) visiting the famous tower in Pisa. We think Piccolo is going to come into his own competing with the Italian city drivers.
Tonight we had a traditional Italian meatball and pasta dish followed by something that was truly fantastic that Lorraine made up - Brioche was cut and soaked in a dish with milk and eggs and fresh apricots added with a sprinkling of sugar on top. Slow cooked in a Bain Marie it came out of the oven looking spectacular (see 'Brad Pudd' in the Italy (West) photo section). It tasted divine and the whole meal was washed down with the lovely organic Rose' wine which we brought with us from Seillans. All that was needed was some nice background music and the digital (DAB) radio soon found a very interesting channel, 'Radio Vaticana' so with the gentle sounds of the Vatican choir it was a perfect end to a perfect day.
Arrivederci
