Bomarzo - Montefiascone - Viterbo

After a long break, thanks to a friend who has decided to rent a Camper, 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.

22/03/2013 Bomarzo
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.

23/03/2013 Bomarzo e Montefiascone
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
More and more despondent and cold back to our vehicles and after a hearty dinner we are going to our last night in camper

24/03/2013 Viterbo
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.
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.
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.
On the way back there is only room for a stop-shopping at the outlet valdichiana fast, but that's another story.


Considerations
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.
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.
