Holidays 2021 in Italy


30 August - 16 September 2021

We made our first night in Heidelberg Germany. We were blown away, next to the large camperparkplatz a nice band was playing outside and we could also order delicious pizza, beer ... wow, that started well. Second overnight stay at Immenstaad am Bodensee, beautiful campsite with castle, but it continued to rain the next week so decided to travel through the Swiss mountains to Italy the next day.

Tired, we couldn't find a place at a campsite near Lake Iseo and we parked the camper in a designated parking space on the edge of a village in the middle of the secluded square. Soon more holidaymakers joined us and so we meet a friendly German couple with a Jeep with a hip roof tent and electric bikes, Kalli and Sas. The next morning together we searched further for another small lake Lago d'Idra and went there together. And we had beautiful weather here 20-25 degrees and lots of sun! Lake Idra is an idyllic 'small' blue lake surrounded by green mountains and this area is not as commercial as Lake Garda.


At the Vantone Pineta campsite we were allocated a beautiful spot next to each other, completely beautiful and fun, we did not want to leave. We also had a lot of fun with our new friends and we BBQed, fished, drank coffee together several times. Kalli (Karl Heinz) is a real technician, spoke good English and we had many things in common, Sas is a lab technician and still in her early twenties.



We enjoyed about 10 days here, a beautiful nice campsite on the lake, nice villages, beautiful surroundings and nice weather. On Sunday we were able to experience the GP Zandvoort online, we didn't want to miss Max.
We also had the scooter on the back of the camper. You do wear a helmet everywhere in Europe, but it is very easy to do errands in the village or to explore the area. Also nice that he drives 65 km/h with a remote control, he drove up the mountain even with the two of you on it!


The last weekend we went to Vienna to a campsite on the Danube. On the way back we made an overnight stay in Germany somewhere completely afterwards.

We enjoyed this holiday extensively with the camper, wonderfully comfortable with all modern conveniences and it also drives excellently on long distances and through the mountains. The same place again next year, please?
