Camping

On Tuesday my dad and I went camping. First we tried a campground in a town called Palazzuolo sul Senio but it was closed. Then my dad stopped on the side of the road and phoned a campground in a place called Firenzuola but no one picked up the phone. So then we ended up camping about 30 minutes away from home and we had been driving for around 3 hours. It was a nice camp ground and there were only 10 cars from Holland and us. There were absolutely no Italians camping and we were the only ones in tents. After we set up the tent we went out side the campsite for a little walk in the forest next door . For dinner we had a 2 meter long sausage and it was YUMMY!! Then we went on a wander through the campsite. It was dark and cold. When we got back we put on some candles and stayed up for a bit longer and then went to bed. Here are some pictures of the tent and me next to the BBQ.




In the morning we got up and it was around 10 degrees. For breakfast I had four croissants. They were delicious. Then we went to the cafe and had a cup of tea. Then we went back, packed up our tent and went home. My favourite thing when we went camping was eating the 2 meter long sausage even though we only ate about a meter.
