The road to Wissemburg,
for the most part within the park of the North Vosges, is very pleasant
and we can see the change in the landscape and vegetation, vineyards are
now gone, and in addition to the cultivated fields often the road
through the forest.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
A few miles away from the goal we make a stop in Hunspach, a village of
white houses on the edge of the forest (1km from the main road). The
hamlet, OCME reported one of the most beautiful villages of France, is
very quaint and charming tourist then what is absolutely not an easy
walk of a few minutes is enough to admire the white houses and the
characteristic convex glasses on the windows.<br />

<br />We leave for Wissemburg and parked the camper in the parking area in
front of the swimming pools signaled totally free (we are alone, but in
the night there will come a German campers to keep us company). This
typical village in the north of Alsace is a pleasant visit, even here
the canal that runs through the center makes his game and beautiful are
the facades of the houses of 1600 still well maintained (and inhabited).
Dinner at "La Vignette" makes us taste the local cuisine (mix between
Germany and France, we are 3 km from the border), to advise the
Choucroute employed mainly for the excellent pork that accompanies it
and the duck leg , all strictly accompanied with a beer or local wine.<br />
Going
back to the camper we can see that from here there are various walking
trails or bike that branch off along the region of 2-3 hours (surely one
thing to take advantage of if you pass here in the summer season)<br />

The next day we set off for Bitche (Lorraine) and cross several
kilometers of forest. The first stop is the Castle of Fleckenstein, well
maintained ruin from which it is possible to observe the vastness of
the park. Here is also a fun path in the woods that we, because of rain,
we had to avoid.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
We have lunch in the relaxation of the forest
(in the car park of the castle) and again towards Bitche encountering
quite a storm and so cold.<br />

Once we go to the est area just below the Citadel (free, very well
maintained with 4 pitches style camping, loading and unloading charge 2 €
a good stop if you're in the area)<br />
The rain does not stop, then
decided to move to go to the fort Simserhoff, the signs are not visible
and reach the place thanks to a very kind gentleman who escorted us in
practice to the parking lot. Located a few kilometers from Bitche the
fort was built on the Maginot Line to defend against the Germans and
suffered several bombing but remained intact. The visit consists of a
video historical images and a path with a train inside the fort to 29
meters below ground (the visit is highly recommended for adults and
children).<br />
<span class="st">.</span><span class="st"><br /></span>
When we go out it is still raining so we change plans and go directly
to Saverne (we return to Alsace) where we park in the camper is not
well reported in the harbor parking lot on the canal ... and
miraculously faces the sun ... we hope to be able to use the bike
tomorrow ...<br />
The good weather also remains in the morning so we
take the bike and take a ride in the country. Characterized by the canal
and harbor from the castle (villa) real country is famous for the rose
garden in which there are over 8000 types of roses (no shame in bloom)
and chocolate. For the street in the center many tearooms serving nice
quality chocolate or chocolate and coffee.<br />

Our trip is winding
down and before returning to Strasbourg and Riquewirh (the stages of
approach to the border of) we stop to Grafthal. Here are the houses in
stones (maison troglodyte). The attraction from the outside is a bit sad
(they are only 3-4 houses dug into the tuff) but the visit (2 €) is
cute. The rooms are still furnished with the furniture of the time
(1800-1900) and there are also many farm tools. The girls having fun.<br />

We have lunch in the parking lot of the country and take the road to
Strasbourg, lard the sun spend a few hours on the bike for the city
(easy to reach from the campsite Montagne Verte).<br />
<br />
The last day of
approach at home included a stop in Ribeauville, another beautiful
country of the wine trail, but with a little more traffic and overnight
stay in Riquewihr where we take the road to home.<br />

<b><i>Considerations:</i></b><br />
<i>The Alsace is a beautiful journey, easy for the
distances between the various destination and parking areas in each
country (even the smallest). The walkable villages and parks in the area
make it an attractive destination for children and the local cuisine is
worth the taste as you need a few glasses of good wine Alsatian (sin a
little too expensive, especially in the blank). The locals are friendly
and in no situation I found myself in trouble with my little Francesce,
however if you have difficulty many speak English. The total cost
remains low thanks to the many free or rest areas that allow overnight
stay a few euro. We were not able to use a lot of bikes but everywhere
there were bike lanes and bicycle parking.</i><br />
<i>Definitely a trip to recommend.</i><br />

The morning after there's a lovely sun and we decided to take our bikes
to go to the center (good choise as this will be one of the few<br />
days without rain and clouds.)<br />
<br />
Colmar is a small village easy to visit mostly beacause cars are not allowed.<br />
We walk trough the center between thetypical houses up to
the wonderful Petit Venice; here we can admire the most beautiful<br />
Colmar's houses.<br />
<img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvmrRLY1K4_fQqAAYVl2nsM2tIVG8gy8Ml-inPi3uDVF5kIb31rp823KP1qCZ-9Scs9LImdOzNqGSQ_UDzaG6uKNaL6TlIVQY7xTTw0qJlM5W9TS62SMg13Gmap9L95Rgw2NfoFFMpjZo/s200/IMG_1775.JPG" width="200" /><br />
We keep on visiting the Cathedral and the local market with its benches,
all of them are very beautiful and well organized to show,<br />
cheese, vegetables, different types of bread and flowers.<br />
This nice walk matches well with a good beer before coming back to the camper to have lunch.<br />
During the afternoon we walk again through the center visiting shops and tasting brezels.<br />
The camping where we stay is very comfortable and easy to reach
espacially as your first stop; there are even 5-6 places and 23.00euro
(3<br />
person and light included) in case you arrive when the reception is closed.<img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4VgpFkgLrMYvnCaBiUNQ-tFwd61LSy8ydr3PM_U7GjqXkkC60i8K4TBL7NJbYpEu4Z-602UxOwGaqWKLOrf46pIjcvKQbt6OTIkezETK5jNxi9uE6BCZQGNXN1Q3FUufCrSLn3Uw9GjE/s200/IMG_1776.JPG" width="200" /><br />
<br />
The day after we towards Strasbourg driving through the Wine-Street taking the D415 Kaysersberg direction, 20 minutes aro.<br />
The big area where we park the camper is very well indicated and
reachable; few thousands mts from the center, we arrive there crossing a<br />
small bridge.<br />
Kaysersberg will be the most beautiful place visited during our vacation.<br />
<img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVA3J1LezFfgy8l7fvh6zmy-4sBQU5RAn5oAyfvpoq6N4clIriYrUoj8vx2bz8hbaanfyjR-ZyZjOqffpOAThchP4DFFOIQ9Af84LlyTpLiPiPwJCsV9svSGbZhNyM8xmJEGd2mWi2D7M/s200/IMG_0884.jpg" width="133" /><br />
Going along the main street, walking along a small river that goes up to
the Castle, we see timbered roofs, nice houses in pastel colours<br />
and peculiar sign-boards. (just a note about the castle.. that's only a ruin that we do not even visited)<br />
The atmosphere is very relaxing and a part from the walk we also enjoy a
good crepes and a Kronenbourg which, I didn't know, is one of<br />
the beer producted in this area.<br />
The area where we stay for the night costs 7.00 euro per day, services and bathrooms outiside.<br />
<img border="0" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjye37EP9A1jUnEIxQhyQDPL8mBbVJBSlKMud04kqakMml-bj3UwZywg1-6azzgvLgr-kp9PBnx96iqOPmQ2hehAI0Dy7O8npxMRfcFpJcy6VgdCnslK4oxP78GFt6bccOEIVxVKVXfYJs/s320/IMG_0822.JPG" width="320" /><br />
As the weather is still good we move in the afternoon and we go to
Hunawihr, to visit the "Storks Park" (reachable with the camper and<br />
well indicated).<br />
In this oasis you can see the storks very near to you and you can also
climb the trees using stairs to see their nests while puppies are<br />
in a "reproduction center".<br />
<br />
Storks are not the only animals you can see in the park. walking around
you can see otters and there's also a Sea show with penguins and<br />
seals.<br />
at the end of the visit it starts to rain again so we come ack to the
camper and start checking a park for the night in Riquewihr (you<br />
can stay in the city park, 4.00 euro from 6.00pm to 9.00am. few places
and not even large enough... camper as our, 7mt aro, may have some<br />
difficulties).<br />
<img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiPVEhs7V-Z9i9zzfjrMZys4O61-8UPMb3tBpUBh0NaR36m6r95N1vTBSGC4b4wBIS3MhWp-lwXOjR85-AEnYt9htpd5OM0YBZ-h4Fm81Z4yc1dbH7YnZDYvCLc5MIsUZbMgoCHpqNXRk/s200/IMG_1846.JPG" width="200" /><br />
Monday morning fully dedicated to visit Riquewihr.<br />
Beautiful houses but too touristic for us; the main street is typical
local shops, and souveniers shops. (by the way.. we buy a piece of<br />
a local cheese.. 30.00euro ... at least it was very good!)<br />
<br />
We have some more time and we decide to go to the Monkey's Park, but not without having lunch...!.. we are ready to tastaste the<br />
Choucroute: a typical dish made with sauerkrauts (cooked with beer), wurstel and pork.<br />
We stopped in a VinStube in Saint-Hyppolite where we eat the Choucroute
drinking a cold Pinot Noir, the typical red wine with a fruits<br />
taste ... personally I din't like it too much.<br />
<br />
After this goods lunch we drive to the park that is over Kintzheim and
very near to the Houte- koenigsbourg Castle (we did not visited<br />
it).<br />
<img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8x2eoao8OIuFBsWRjL0VBsy8dbp9C_PIhcWHyZWo-j4iiwqErFA82FquuWuLFT8KAO2dr4LhWpFC_E5LgzrHC-81Tp8gCn0pVF8e-bq9pQJ4iLl4JqJn1ydHdJV1zOs1lMeEKQi5DdJ8/s200/IMG_0797.jpg" width="132" /> <img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0h3Vh8GxB9ffyLHSvrTCSiQI9QYy5y44o22sVBiMvKaOzpg3T-mGAEAeasp-DRFdzvcko33WlRQRohL-NYZ-F1VHPbPAnpLJ1-JFzkmNs5FR94Smy0RqgCpMWpaIK33ZuNnxeuUWBslE/s200/IMG_1799.jpg" width="150" /><br />
The Monkeys' Park (Montagne de Singes) is very fascinating, about 200
Macachi living freedom and staying around you along the path.<br />
Babies look with satisfaction at the monkeys eating pop corns taking them direclty form visitors.<br />
<br />
To whom is travelling with the family we suggest to visit both the parks
(storks and monkeys) and the villages, taking in consideration 2<br />
hours for each stop.<br />
<br />
We are tired but satisfied, we go to the camper and drive in Strasbourg direction trough the Wine Street until Obernai.<br />
Driving in this area is really pleasant, beautiful landscape..vineyards and small villages with coloured houses. We should stop<br />
everywhere taking some pictures!<br />
<br />
In about one hour we arrive in Strasbourg and we go directly to "Montagne Verte" camping.<br />

Here we are! Ready to plan our next trip with you: only one camper, 4
persons and 900km to reach our destination: Alsatia and probably<br />
Lorraine.<br />
<br />
I'm thinking about the journey plan starting from the organization of
each day so that we will be able to see what we are interested in<br />
not being in hurry.<br />
Hoping in a good weather we will use our bikes daily to have a relaxing visit through the Wine Road villages and Strasbourg.<br />
<br />
We will visit for sure the colmar (small venice), the tipical Alsatia's villages, Road markets (probably on wednesday in<br />
Strasbourg) and good (even excellent) gastronimies as you can find there cheese and wine of a very good quality.<br />
<br />
we also hope to learn somthing more about Storks as we only sow the nest while we were visiting Slovenja.<br />
<br />
In the next few days you will find the complete intinerary.<br />
<br />

we take the outputs. After all these preparations, due to bad weather,
we are forced to improvise the route. Our half is the Tuscia Viterbese.<br /><br />
<b>22/03/2013 Bomarzo</b><br />
We leave after dinner, with the children already asleep for our first
stop: Bomarzo. As soon as we arrived with an unwelcome surprise, the
parking area is reported in renovation and, after a brief trip, given
the late hour we settle in a parking lot above the village.<br />
<br />
<b>23/03/2013 Bomarzo e Montefiascone</b><br />
Wake up bright and early start the visit of the town. The old town is
not really close, and for reaching the summit, we take advantage of a
small lift (not much reported to truth). The country is nice but really
undervalued, only a small plate of FAI reminds us of the importance of
these villages.<br />
Striking the narrow streets where the predominant color of green moss
that seems to cover everything, but it all ends in a short time, a
little 'disappointed, we decide that it's time to give satisfaction to
children with a visit to the Park of Monsters.<br />
With the camper we reach the park, ample parking facilitates the parking
of vehicles. The path between the giants of rock is interesting and the
kids are fascinated by these grotesque figures that emerge from the
ground, but even here some disappointment catches us. Given the not
insignificant price of the ticket (10 Euros) we would expect greater
care and acceptance, by the difficulty of moving with strollers, to
imperfect maintenance of the park, we can not tell us fully satisfied.<br />
Lunch on the spot and after we move to Montefiascone, placing the
vehicles in the parking of the winery of the same name (loading /
unloading, electricity, free) where we make time for children to rest.
The wine cellar offers a chance to buy local products and, of course,
the famous EST EST EST<br />
The town center is about 2 km and the road very busy. When we reach it
is already late afternoon and probably could not take the time to visit
the place it deserves. The road does not facilitate the tour in fact
there are virtually no sidewalks and there are areas closed to traffic,
we spend more time to dodge the cars with strollers who appreciate the
great outdoors. Worth noting definitely the belvedere overlooking Lake
Bolsena and the Rocca dei Papi.<br />
More and more despondent and cold back to our vehicles and after a hearty dinner we are going to our last night in camper<br /><br />
<b>24/03/2013 Viterbo</b><br />
After enjoying the discharge in about half an hour we reach Viterbo.
After a little 'speed (it's time to update our GPS!) We find parking
just outside the walls. The visit is nice but the problem recurs car
remains a mystery as city tourism propensity do not involve large areas
with no traffic in your plan.<br />
In our wanderings we can also enjoy a ride in the basement of Viterbo,
nothing special but the path is very short and driving, maybe German (?)
Says it all with soporific rhythms. Also in this case the haste does
not help, sadly little time to organize the trip has displaced more than
once. However, we recommend the purchase of like Nutella
hazelnut-based, truly spectacular.<br />
We decide to give a boost to this mini vacation giving us a lunch in a
nearby farmhouse, the Antica Sosta. Delicious meal of meat grilled in a
beautiful environment, to recommend.<br />
On the way back there is only room for a stop-shopping at the outlet valdichiana fast, but that's another story.<br /><br />
<br />
<b>Considerations</b><br />
Surely he decided at the last minute did not help, but it was certainly
not our best output. We have already visited the Tuscia and we know how
much beauty has to offer, but on this trip we had the feeling of being
in front of a large potential advantage really bad, they lack the
information and infrastructure, the places are not maintained and
enhanced at all. We found big trouble moving with strollers, limiting
greatly the use of children. In a country like ours, afflicted by a
severe crisis, which tourism can become the real driving force of the
recovery, some flaws are not justified.<br />
Sorry for Leo who was on his first experience in a motorhome and we are
confident of being able to convince the purchase in an upcoming trip.
But above all we hope to see our negative judgments, returning to talk
about what we saw and not the problems we encountered.<br />

opportunity to see the latest news and trends in tourism traveling.
Addition to the resources you can find an incredible amount of
accessories to enhance our holidays to all four wheels. But let's start
from the beginning.<br />
The Tourit takes place in the vast Carrara Fiere, entrance from Via
Maestri del Marmo. You have until January 20 to visit. The ticket costs
10 euro, but you can get a discount of 50% with coupon on almost all
magazines. Outside the house you can see a selection of used motorhomes
and caravans of major exhibitors, unfortunately the bad weather
conditions we were granted a truce and we have not seen much of this
part.<br />
<br />
<br />
On the inside we have seen the best of 2013: the series King of Elnagh,
attic seeds and grains, the<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKV48kQ5xitrTRS19XAULSG-2CMnEENQOYJtZ2nWRgVCVB9bHug98e2UyY4bCCaPtOS2P7Sp0QIV3dtdwt2LAtj8QbxdH5Ys1KFRvLvaPkj3NJhOOE4FUDRS2LTwfr8aaqE8yqDEwANqyD/s640/blogger-image--904779626.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKV48kQ5xitrTRS19XAULSG-2CMnEENQOYJtZ2nWRgVCVB9bHug98e2UyY4bCCaPtOS2P7Sp0QIV3dtdwt2LAtj8QbxdH5Ys1KFRvLvaPkj3NJhOOE4FUDRS2LTwfr8aaqE8yqDEwANqyD/s320/blogger-image--904779626.jpg" width="320" /></a> giants of Kentucky, the newcomers Yes Camper
and much more. Do not we pause to describe every detail, we do not have
the technical knowledge to do so and prefer to leave the details to
those who know more than us. We just want to make some considerations:
we continue to see campers generously sized, well over 7 meters, often
with a decidedly extravagant housing solutions. We understand that there
is a need to offer the best potential customers, but how many of these
choices will be very "practical" for campers? Is not the best to
maneuver with 7.5 meters of vehicle, especially with changes in oltre1, 5
meters. It's definitely great to have all the latest technological
developments, but then if we come up against the consumption involving,
where is the advantage? In short, it increasingly means better, or at
least that's our opinion.<br />

<br />
We saw vintage camper off-road vehicles, we had to browse through
caravan super luxury and affordable solutions, stealing some ideas and
dreaming a little.<br />
<br />
<br />
Then we jumped on accessories and spare parts purchasing some toys
(luckily the wife has kept me from buying it all!) Of which we will
speak after testing a bit '.<br />
These fairs are also an opportunity to learn about the main Camper Club,
meet representatives of various pro site that illustrate their
offerings to the itinerant tourism, but also to talk with other fans to
share views and ideas.<br />
In short, the Tourit is a good excuse to spend a pleasant day.</div>

Finally a few days off! Celebrated New Year's Eve with friends and
children, the first day of the year we are ready to go. The route is
already more of an idea through the work of our wives and resources are
loaded and operational. We are moving up early taking advantage of the
half-empty streets after partying the night before, the direction of
Gubbio.<br />
We arrive in a couple of hours the Umbrian town and parked the camper
near the sports facilities via del Bottagnone. The parking area is
slightly ahead but in the parking lot is full and there are other
campers, so we decide that the place is good and, taking advantage of a
free bus service links, we reach the center.<br />
The weather did not help us and few drops of rain accompanies our
travels but does not prevent us to enjoy the beautiful Gubbio. With a
couple of lifts we reach the Piazza Grande, where we admire the Palazzo
dei Consoli and Palazzo Pretorio. After a good meal in one of the
downtown restaurants conclude the ride back to our cars, just in time to
see the giant Christmas tree light, designed on the hill on which
stands Gubbio.<br />

<i>January 2, 2013</i><br />
We leave early enough and head to Recanati. Thanks also to the
fortuitous meeting with the president of the local Camper club, we find
the best rest area via Peruzzi, free connection with the power supply
and load / unload, all close enough to the center.<br />
Visit Recanati through its places Leopardi, from the birthplace of the
poet to the hill of the Infinite with its charming landscape. The city
speaks of poetry, but we very prosaically we are drawn by a delightful
shop where beer squander a significant portion of our budget (.. will be
the theme of this trip)<br />
<br />
<br />
<i>January 3, 2013</i><br />
After a quick load / unload tanks we head towards the coast. The weather
is gray, but the desire to show the children the sea is great. We come
to Numana and we can park their vehicles on the seafront and spend the
morning to entertain the little ones on the beach. At lunch we move and
facing a winding climb that embarrasses my McLouis, we reach the summit
of the Conero.<br />
Unfortunately, we do not find the view we had hoped, but we are
surrounded by greenery and already this we can rejoice lunch (any excuse
would be valid while eating)<br />
With a full stomach descend the mountain and return to the sea,
destination Sirolo. The town for campers only offers a daily parking
comunquer a few meters from the center. 5 minutes and we, well-kept
streets and pleasant sea views are the main feature though probably at
its best in the spring and summer. From the top we can see the beach
below the village (not accessible with our means, even in winter) a must
try in the summer months.<br />
Off again reach Senigallia where risk to put in the center, this time is
the Adriatic Stefano to suffer its increased size. Dodged the danger,
there is parking and give us a walk downtown, shopping and relax.<br />
The climate is pleasant and it is definitely a nice surprise the city
center, but we have to move, we set to spend the night at the
Agriturismo Sbraga, near Fano. We get that it's time for dinner and we
only have time to arrange transportation, tomorrow we will look around.<br />

<i>January 4, 2013</i><br />
We wake up with a bright sun, the place is very nice and the owner very
kind with us and see the farm animals, clearly the kids are excited. The
place is much to recommend, for 16 euro a day you will have a spacious
pitch, electricity and water on site, spacious bathrooms and clean and
all in a beautiful environment. We complete the morning by playing
children in freedom and walking in the surrounding countryside. Time
gives us even outdoor dining, something quite rare in this season.
Withdrawn table and chairs we go to the next half Corinaldo.<br />
We park near the sports field where we come to the center with a short
but challenging climb. The medieval town is very charming and keeps
almost intact the outer walls, but, as often see in these places, there
is no life, there are very few activities and a visit to these places is
likely to become monotonous.<br />
We leave for the last stages of our journey and arrive in Urbino in the
late evening. Follow the signs and parked in a parking area not exactly
close to the center, but it's late and we're tired, we'll see tomorrow
(sleep with an average slope of campers between 7 and 20% argggg)<br />

We soon realize that we have to move to visit Urbino, there is a car
park next to the Palazzo Ducale with convenient access to the center. We
find that it would be possible to stay here for the night, of course
fee (1.20 € per hour).<br />
The tour of the center allows us to discover a beautiful city: the
church of San Francesco, Palazzo Ducale, The Duomo, the Piazza
Rinascimento and Piazza della Repubblica. Circulate so few cars that
children can play with a certain tranquility. Among the many things to
see we can find the time to taste us a delicious meal of meat and find a
shop selling new and delicious beers.<br />
With the camper loaded as an Oktoberfest walking we reach the final and decisive stage: Urbania, the city of the Epiphany!<br />
They are many who chose this place to spend the Epiphany, but the
parking area at the Barco del Duca is great and the view of all those
campers is a good show. A convenient shuttle service, free of charge,
however, brings us to the center of the party. Dozens and dozens of
witches greet us full of candy for the delight of children, wherever
there are stalls full of all good (we can find craft beers here too!).
The clock tower two acrobats dance hanging by a thread and in the
afternoon from the bell tower of the Duomo launched four witches riding
their brooms amid the cries of the crowd and two happy fathers with
their young shoulders. In the end, tired but happy, we return to our
homes waiting for the old furniture fills our stockings.<br />

For
reach the center we use the "Tramvia" (elettric Bus) (near the Coop in
viale Nenni there is a big Park with the stop of Tramvia, 15 minutes to
city center). The path vith "Little Train" is's very exciting for the
baby and in a few minutes we are in center.<br />

If you fancy a weekend of relaxation and you like me an insane passion for food, Cuneo and its province can do for you. <br />
Cuneo, translated wedge, takes its name from its triangular shape, "wedged" between the rivers Stura and Gesso. From the tip of the triangle is the oldest part of the city, via Roma with its beautiful porticos accompanies us to piazza Galimberti, occupied by a large market every Tuesday. Also the next Nizza course, which proceeds in the direction of Borgo San Dalmazzo, is characterized by the presence of arcades, of more recent construction, but no less beautiful. This feature allows you to explore the city even when it rains.<br />

Although the dimensions are those of a medium-sized towns, the rhythms of life are those of a country, pausing for a drink is a real institution and often can almost replace a meal. Personally I would recommend the "Corso" for a good breakfast with excellent croissants at cream (check out the beautiful color of cream.<br />

Speaking of bar goes absolutely reported Arione, overlooking Piazza Galimberti, is the true inventor of Rum Cuneesi, as patent certifies featured exposed. These chocolates are a true work of art, but if you want something different the meringue with cream are unproven. But the culinary delights do not end here. The fresh pasta is a wonderful area and habits there are many shops where you buy it.Ravioli del Plin, Tajerin, ravioli della Val Varaita are just some of the varieties you can find.<br />
Another very typical of the area are the cheeses. As the Piemonte region, also the province of Cuneo has a strong vocation cheese. You can find cheese for every palate: from the delicate Tomini, the pungent flavor of Bruss, from Raschera and Toumin of Mel, until you meet one of the world's finest cheeses, Castelmagno, along with the typical Cugnà, a sort of grape mustard, with apples, pears and figs. These and other delights you can find the cheese shop.<br />
Satisfied our throat we can make a trip to the church of the sacred heart and admire its beautiful structure.<br />

<br />
Along the beautiful Viale Angeli reach the Santuario degli Angeli where you have a wonderful view of the river park. For those who enjoy walking in the countryside, the park offers a beautiful thematic route, suitable for children. In fact the whole Cuneo seems to be built suitable for children, all flat, with a highly developed road cycling, porches that protect from rain and sun, the Viale Angeli becomes a pedestrian on Saturday afternoons and Sundays.<br />
Wanting to move there are many places that are worth a visit: the beautiful Mondovì with its center reached by funicular, Savigliano and its fascinating old town square, Borgo San Dalmazzo, Saluzzo, and many other villages that I leave to you the pleasure of discovering , and enjoy.<br />

<br />
Friday 16/11/12<br />
Finish ed work and made the final preparations we are ready to go, we take the Calenzano motorway which are just 18, direction Umbria. <br />
Blame a little traffic, we come to our first destination, Spello, which are already 21. <br />
The site is well signposted and is located a few hundred metres from the centre, close to the sports ground (coin-operated parking meter, 8 euro for 24 hours, minimum payment 5 euro) time to dine and settle down for the night and everyone in bed.<br />
<br />
Saturday 17/11/12<br />
The night was cold, but a good stove and quiet allowed us to rest. To get to the centre need to travel a short distance uphill. <br />
Spello appears immediately in its beauty, medieval streets and alleys lead us through the ancient stone buildings, offering an enchanting panorama that has inspired an artist like Norberto Proietti. Visit the Gallery of the artist in via Cavour and continue the tour, noting, however, that many businesses are closed and that, in general, Spello doesn't shine for vitality, however, does not mean that the visit is less palatable, but we intend to go back on the occasion of the infiorata, the competition of flowered balconies typical of the country, that normally takes place in early June (next should take place on the first weekend of June 2013)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
After lunching in camper we move in Assisi, the parking here is more complicated: after countless laps, continually blocked by access restrictions for motorhomes, we find a parking. The fare is not cheap (2 euro for hour) but mostly we realize not just neighbors. We park too and ask directions, in fact there is no signage for the centre and the bar, which should also work as a cashier, is currently closed. Luckily the people we meet are very polite, which will be repeated everywhere, and the way we are moving. Here the path is decidedly uphill and having to push the stroller doesn't help. Huffing and pushing come on top and we must now admit that despite the effort is worth it: Assisi is truly magnificent. In every corner there is the link that this city has with its saint well with its origins. Maybe you see even the most travel propensity, but never so heavy and without absolutely charm penetrate a bit mystical. The short day of early winter we just a little when turning, but also gives us spectacular views that you are unlikely to forget.<br />

<br />
Back to the camper and, after paying our contribution to the parking machine (the bar continues to be inexplicably closed), we move to the night in Bevagna. The staging area is well-marked, peaceful and free.<br />
The country and really close and, after having dined on sliced pizza base, we are going to spend the second night in Umbria.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
Sunday 18/11/12<br />
A dense rain accompanied us throughout the night, but fortunately the morning we reserve a time forgiving and good, now, we are going to visit Bevagna. The country is very beautiful, perhaps the most beautiful for now, will be smaller than in Assisi, or maybe the continuous flow of people, maybe the two wonderful squares, but we immediately fascinated. Despite being Sunday, most of the shops are open, people are really helpful and we stop several times to talk with people we meet. "Angiolino 'o pustino" tells us that the best time to visit the village is the end of June, for the market of the Gaite, medieval event involving the entire Bevagna, so we have a good excuse to go back. <br />
We stop for lunch at Osteria Scottadito. Perhaps for the season but the Club is full and we serve with diligence, homemade pasta and a spectacular cut, pity that the choice of the house wine was equally apt. <br />
Back to the camper to relocate in Montefalco. There aren't many kilometres and landscape and really spectacular: the vines that turn to red colour the hills that surround us and almost sorry when we arrive.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_dsr8WxDKSoX-OIOOUbH0aO0Ks-dobSGx3yNLdd7fABWQMCGSR-eU0jQ5dmF4VOAW6JeTAaaHi3_4ig3P4sxm7Ht2F7zaYQpkrNKh4ozRH9hxowjp0fKqhuSN1ztqvFrF0q9S-OTW-Lqk/s1600/Panorama.JPG" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_dsr8WxDKSoX-OIOOUbH0aO0Ks-dobSGx3yNLdd7fABWQMCGSR-eU0jQ5dmF4VOAW6JeTAaaHi3_4ig3P4sxm7Ht2F7zaYQpkrNKh4ozRH9hxowjp0fKqhuSN1ztqvFrF0q9S-OTW-Lqk/s320/Panorama.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
We leave the medium into the staging area at the foot of the town, free of charge but with a steep access. Montefalco is probably what keeps most of all the characteristics of the medieval: narrow cobblestone streets, steep slopes and stairways everywhere. Not that this isn't appealing, but try to move with the stroller is truly daunting. Will this or a bit of tiredness but after little more than an hour we decide to get back on the road to home. <br />
<br />
Conclusions<br />
The route that we did not quite linear, we made choices based on the areas where we would sleep. <br />
Maybe it's not the best time to visit these areas, but even so we enjoyed the beauty of a region that welcomed us with its bold flavors but cordial. In case we reported, together with a good bottle of Sagrantino, a great desire to leave again <br />

We leave Friday afternoon from Sesto. The group is complete two campers, a
mythical Adria Coral 670D of 7 seats and the new entry Mc Louis 360. Four
adults and three children and half are participants.<br />
The arrival in Bagnoregio originally planned for the 18 is actually delayed by
an hour.<br />
The stop is planned at the Camper parking just outside the village (€ 10 day
tickets you buy at the store souvernir), because is late we explore the
pizzeria a few meters of the squadre to arrange fast dinner.<br />
The children are tired and go to bed shortly so we spent the time remains to
plan the next day. The idea is to reach Civita di Bagnoregio walk through the
village of Bagnoregio, the distance of about 2 km it's all downhill, for return
we assume the use of the local bus.</span><br />

Saturday, 27/10/12<br />
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: Times; font-size: small;">
We wake up and the air is already hot for the autumn and invites us to get out
quickly and start our walk with the "trust" Pepe in front of us.<br />
The town of Bagnoregio is a typical village of Lazio (southern Tuscany - Umbria
external), Medieval and pleasant to go even if it has no special attractions.<br />
The show, however, it’s only a few minute delay. The panoramic route to Civita
di Bagnoregio is absolutely unique! A valley in the background and a small peak
at the center of which hangs the "dying town", one image favored by
splendid day to be immortalized!<br />
The bridge, off a little more than a small tractor is the only access to the
town, the motor is half of the few households (about 10), but I guarantee that
the slope of the last part is really challenging.<br />
Arrived at the village we stop immediately in the square for a cold beer and a
toast. The country is small and in the short turn, among the things to report I
want to emphasize the views of the valley.<br />
We come back to the camper for lunch without the aid of the van, but enjoying
the walk again made the first leg.<br />
<br />
Quick lunch in the camper and define the next goal. After a quick
consultation to decide village near Pitigliano, Sovana.<br />
Our route follows the hill of the country until lake of Bolsena,where,
fascinated by the sunset and the sign that shows the presence of a fest, we decide
to stay overnight.<br />
The car parking is a parking 24H not so far of the lake (10 € per day but need to get the coins because
they do not accecpt bills) the distance from the center is about a mile away.
Then we reach the main road and travel together to a local band.<br />
The evening starts to get dark and we return to the camper not before a taste
of fried food in the local store.<br />
The day ends with dinner all together in our camper and planning the next day.
We will use the morning for a walk along the lake and then we will reach
Sovana.<br />
<br />
Sunday, 28/10/12<br />
The lakeside promenade starts with a good breakfast at a choice of cafes, so we
reach the dock of the local marina and spend a few minutes enjoying the
relatively cool air blowing slightly to clean the lake.<br />
We return to the Caravan and continue to Sovana. The route is about an hour across
the Tuscan countryside, very funny for the drivers.</span><br />

parking is free and can be an excellent place to stop also in the night. The
village is small, well maintained and very Charmful.<br />
The Cathedral brings us back to the Knights Templar, his simplicity, silence
and the mighty structure of the columns you back in the past. The village is
rich of well-maintained buildings and a lot a place to eat. We decide to taste the
flavors of the area in “Vino al Vino” (Wine to Wine)<br />
We complete the visit to the ruins of the palace / castle of the Lord of the
place and then move (in 10 minutes) in Pitigliano.<br />

<span lang="EN" style="font-family: Times; font-size: small;"><span lang="EN" style="font-family: Times; font-size: small;">Here a stop was complicated (Camper parking is far and does not allow access on
foot to the old town), we use a wide road to park vehicles and reach the
center. Also in this case the view of Borgo from outside the walls is
absolutely unique, but the path in the center is not at the same height. Maybe
it is because fatigue or to have arrived here after a visit to Sovana, but I'm
not hitting.</span></span><br />
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: Times; font-size: small;"><span lang="EN" style="font-family: Times; font-size: small;"> </span>
<br />
We return then to the camper and in two hours we return to Florence tired, but
very pleased with our itinerary.<br />
<br />
Considerations<br />
The destination is perfect for two / three days of complete relaxation. The
distances are short, all the villages (with the exception of Pitigliano) are
accessible even with children and provide easy parking and restaurant.<br />

I personally believe that food is a key element of a trip. <br />
Often in the choice of destination the idea to taste some culinary excellence or a famous local product, is crucial. <br />
Visiting
foreign countries the kitchen is often the key to learn about
traditions and customs of a people, the best way to understand what
surrounds us. But in a broader sense is the true heart of a journey, the
conviviality of a lunch in the company, the tastes that mingle with the
words, are one of the best moments that a trip. <br />
Traveling by
camper these emotions do not diminish, but rather multiply. Eat on our
mobile homes is always a moment of confrontation, is to plan the next
