First proper day here on Day two – Tuscany 2015 in the Tuscan sun at Park Albatros.
Michele was moaning that the pigeons woke her up, but how can she hear them all the way back? Maybe it was me snoring?
Morning
We got Joshua up at a reasonable time today and headed off in search of a supermarket. Which we found about 15 minutes’ drive away towards the town of Venturina. The supermarket was a Co-op of the local producers. Little English was spoken here, and we had to be creative with our selections of fruit and veg. The process had no corresponding picture as everything was in Italian. One thing about the Co-op was that the Birra was cheaper. Total bill for the Tuesday big shop was €160 (£117). Not too bad.
Back at the caravan at Park Albatros everything was un-packed and tidied away for use over the coming week. A hearty lunch consisting of bread, selection of cured meats, olives, and salad for me. Michele had a pie (only joking she had bread ham and spreading cheese). Joshua pushed the boat out with cereal and watermelon!
Afternoon
In the afternoon we headed off to the beach a short 15-minute walk away. The sand on the beach was burning hot to the bare foot. The beach was full of families all with the same idea as us – get a tan and have fun. The sand was course not like the fine sand at Ca’ Savio on the Venetian coastline of the Adriatic. Powerful waves and all three of us got knocked over at some point, yes, all three of us. Michele was seen in the water. She ended up on her arse after a wave snook up on her and knocked her over! She even looked like the ‘Hair Bear Bunch’ as her hair got wet!!! On no. She did laugh, but not as much as I did.
Josh walked up to the teenager’s club. Only to find that it had joined forces with the 8-11-year olds group. No teenagers turned up, so he made a hasty retreat. Shame really as he’d made the effort.
Evening
BBQ time. As it’s raining, we had an evening playing cards. Drinking Moretti and listening to Michele’s 80’s selection of music. As I type, we are listening to Haircut 100 and ‘love plus one’
Now after Day two – Tuscany 2015, tomorrow is supposed to be cooler at 25 degrees. Heading into Pisa and then Lucca for the day tomorrow.
