Camping del Lago

This a slightly strange campsite nestled in the foothills of the Italian Alps. Camping del Lago is perfectly good campsite but has strange rules about rubbish that make it a bit intimidating. Also the facilities are newish but also a bit weird like huge washing up sinks with no draining boards.

The lake puts me in mind of the one in the Godfather Part II.

5/10

Onward to the Dolomites....

Croatian Ice Cream

Croatia is the kids number 1!!!!

The most amazing ice cream constructions you have ever seen.
Rather difficult to eat however!!

Autocamp Draga

Autocamp Draga is terraced and pleasant and has the feeling of a small camp. It is well situated close to the town and 300m from a beach.

Their is also a good restaurant “Lasco” next door the seafood is affordable and superb.

All the staff at Auto camp Draga are pleasant and efficient. The only downside of the campsite are the bathrooms they cramped and dated but are spotlessly clean.

Highlights:

Beach access
Close to town and good food.

Overall 6/10

BTW: With more modern bathrooms the score will rise to 8/10.

Reception with little shop 200 metres from town.

Terraces

Old style bathrooms

Croatian villas

Hidden away behind the facades of Mošćenička Draga are some beautiful old Croatian villas.

Mošćenička Draga

We arrived in Croatia in hot July conditions. Mum and Dad decided that the beach, pedalo's and ice cream could wait. So we set out in the 30 degree heat for 6 hour, 13 km hike to the local summit of the mountains "Perun". We got most of the way and were rewarded with some great views.

There were some very spooky signs on the way detailing with local Slavic traditions of sacrifice and earth mothers and there was a deserted settlement at the top...
