Moneglia

05/06/2010

We had the bright idea of hiring some snorkelling gear but struck out. We found one company that would rent us gear but only as part of a package including getting taken out in a boat to a special location. We just wanted to pootle around near the campsite and besides that their rates were diabolical. We ended up going for a semi-snorkel (without the snorkel) by just using our swimming goggles and saw a few interesting little fishies and other sea creatures. After lunch we hit the beach again for couple of hours and amused ourselves by swimming out to a breakwater and diving off it repeatedly. Great fun and probably our last ocean swim on this trip unless we are foolhardy enough to brave the North Sea later on.

A special treat for dinner by going out for pizza. Calzone, to be exact, and it was good. Not great but good and not touristy expensive.

Tomorrow we are heading to Pisa and will no doubt endure lot of windy, narrow-y, tunnel-y road before we approach anything like a major road. We were running pretty low on fuel when we got here so have filled up the jerry can at the servo in town to give Skippy a top up. Dread to think what would happen if we ran out of petrol halfway along an unlit, one way 2km long tunnel. Would not be pretty.
