No sight seeing today, just driving. We're heading north up the east coast towards Venice. Half way up we've detoured in land to the small town of Assisi where Saint Francis (he of brown cassocks and animal friends) was born and lived.
Saint Francis was the patron saint of my first school, my church when I was a kid and of my rugby club so I was keen to drop by on the way north. We'll see the little hill town of Assisi tomorrow when I'll have more to report.
The van is really doing a great job so far. Just over 2000 miles in 12 days and its been purring along. We've abandoned the bed extension as its too much hassle to put up and get down in the night when Mrs B. needs to go. Sleeping up there is a little cramped and the matress a little hard but we're getting used to it.
The kitchen pod and electrical hook up are getting used every day. The whole set up is working a treat to be honest. Really pleased.
We did get talking to a California owner a couple of days ago and got a tour of his van. Very sweet. Now wondering about whether to upgrade to a Cali or continue to add little bits to this one. Something that needs some serious thought and research. No rush yet.
Now its time for curry and red wine, sat in the sunshine before it sets.
