Thursday 10 June, Peschici in the Gargona National Park

A lovely drive across the spur of Italy's boot. A beautiful campsite amongst the pine forests of this natural gem of Puglia. The children had a wonderful day at the beach, and a barbeque to end the evening.
"Daddy," said Maddie afterwards, "Our van is just like a castle."

"Yes. It has spiders. And flies. And ants."

Return to find him frowning in concentration as he attempts to thread shells collected on the beach into a necklace for his offspring.
