Day 40 Tuesday 29 Oct. GNV ferry Sicily to Genova,Italy and on to Spotorno, Ligurian coast
Calm crossing on Tyrrenhian sea, good night's sleep in that spacious bed, fridge ,TV .. Worth €48 , every cent !
Buying the meal pass €34 each for 2 meals and breakfast a mistake for vegetarians as food options mainly limited to meat and fish .
We didn't eat late last night thinking we could have 2 meals today but it didnt work like that..
You can only have selected items, so we dined on pasta and more pasta and bread and croissants , v stodgy canteen food, anything healthy you have to pay extra for
Sun shone weakly throughout the crossing, balmy breeze which we spent in the dog exercise area at the back of the ferry , comparing owners and their dogs resemblances ,when not luxuriating in our state room . Having vacated it ,we waited 2 and and half hours in the 8 th cafe for our call to move back into our vans/ cars/ lorries, some pretty fed up children, dogs and adults too..
Reaching the van on the bottom level involved a hydraulic roof being raised which we stood and watched ,GNV and Brittany ferries have very different ideas re H and S.
No stops or campsites near Genova so we drove along the Ligurian coast , the campsite we had selected up in the Piedmont hills was closed, so we settled on campsite Leo on the coast , open all year , very near the handsome town of Spotorno, just by the railway ( not noisy ) good campsite , beach access 10-15;mins , clean toilets, very upmarket area , autumn roadworks and a dug up esplanade . €20 per night .Unlimited hot showers .
