Camping on the Conero Riviera

FINALLY ON THE CONERO RIVIERA!

THIS TIME WE ALL SET OFF TOGETHER.. BESIDES ME, VALENTINA, ANDREA AND ENEIDA, SOME OF OURS ARE ALSO COMING, SARA AND GIANNI, THE LATTER ON HIS FIRST CAMPING TRIP...

SO THE SIX OF US SET OFF TOGETHER. AND THE 2009 SUMMER ADVENTURE BEGINS.

AFTER 4 HOURS OF TRAVEL WE ARRIVE AT THE CAMPSITE in Sirolo, BUT EVERYTHING IS FULL. WE MOVE TO OTHER CAMPSITES, BUT ONE WE DON'T LIKE BECAUSE IT'S VERY BASIC AND ANOTHER, LET'S SAY, IS A SORRY SIGHT.. NOT TO BE UNKIND..

THEN WE COME DOWN FROM Monte Conero AND OPT FOR THE MARVELLOUS CAMPSITE in Numana, "CAMPING BELLAMARE". HERE THE CAMPSITE HAS ALL THE COMFORTS NEEDED FOR A GREAT HOLIDAY, A POOL.. PRIVATE BEACH.. AND LARGE PITCHES WITH SHADE IN AN EXCELLENT POSITION!!

SO WE START UNLOADING THE LUGGAGE FROM THE CARS, IN NO TIME WE SET EVERYTHING UP, WE EVEN PUT UP THE SUSPENDED SHEETS FOR AIR TO HAVE EVEN MORE SHADE.

IN THE END, JOB DONE, OUR TENT AREA IS ONE OF THE BEST; WE ALSO HAVE THE USUAL

TENT NICKNAMED "SUDARELLO" WHERE WE CAN CHANGE AND STORE OUR PANTRY.

ONCE SETTLED LIKE THIS WE THROW OURSELVES STRAIGHT INTO THE WATER... FANTASTIC! THE SEA IS FLAT CALM AND

THE WATER IS WARM. WE STAY A GOOD WHILE SWIMMING THEN (IT'S ABOUT 7 P.M.) SHOWER AND IMMEDIATELY A BIG DINNER.

THE CAMPSITE IS VERY NICE INDEED; IN THE MORNING WE ALWAYS WENT TO THE SEA, IN THE AFTERNOONS WE VERY OFTEN SPENT THEM IN THE BIG POOL, WHERE SEVERAL TIMES WE PLAYED THE GAME OF "FIND THE BRACELET"... FANTASTIC!.. WE CREATED PANIC, IN FACT WE WERE TOLD OFF BY THE "PAMELA ANDERSON" OF THE SITUATION.

NOT TO MENTION THE GAME OF LEAPFROG ONE ON TOP OF THE OTHER... (A COMPETITION THAT LASTED LITTLE, TO TELL THE TRUTH, BECAUSE OF THE SCOLDINGS OF THE "PAMELA" MENTIONED ABOVE...).

GIANNI, WHO WAS AN EXCELLENT COOK, WAS HOWEVER NOT AN EXCELLENT SWIMMER; IN FACT, DURING A BIT OF "FREESTYLE" IN THE POOL, HE HIT FULL IN THE FACE AN UNFORTUNATE BATHER, WHO, IN PAIN, WHILE HEADING TOWARDS HIS WIFE TO GET HELP ALSO SLIPPED ALONG THE POOL EDGE... WHAT A LAUGH!!!... A BIT LESS FOR THE POOR GUY, TO TELL THE TRUTH.

ANOTHER MOMENT NOT TO FORGET WAS THE DAY WHEN SARA, COMING OUT OF THE CAMPSITE BATHROOM, GOT LOST, AND NO LONGER FINDING THE TENT, STARTED WANDERING AROUND HOPING NO ONE WOULD NOTICE BUT SHE WAS IMMEDIATELY RUMBLED BY VALENTINA...

ALSO ANOTHER IMPORTANT MOMENT WAS THAT OF THE LIUCK!... WHICH OBVIOUSLY ONLY WE 6 KNOW ABOUT. INTERESTING WAS THE TRIP TO LORETO, WHILE STUPENDOUS WAS THE MONTE CONERO TRAIL THAT LED US TO A BEAUTIFUL BEACH, A SHAME THAT THE TRAIL HAD A SLOPE LIKE "EVEREST" WHERE GIANNI, WITH HIS FALL, MADE US DIE LAUGHING...

THE HOLIDAY WAS WONDERFUL, AND ALTHOUGH WE WERE CAMPING, WE HAD EVERYTHING WE NEEDED TO BE COMFORTABLE, AND THEN WITH ENEIDA'S "ANTI-TIREDNESS" CREAMS WE NEVER GOT TOO TIRED...

UNTIL THE NEXT CAMPING TRIP!... MAYBE IN SARDINIA.. WHO KNOWS?..

A GREETING FROM THE EXPERT CAMPERS CLAUDIO, VALENTINA, ANDREA, ENEIDA, SARA AND GIANNI
