Pentecost, free parking and pasta

Monday 21st May

Chatted to German neighbour on our lovely campsite who informed us that it is now the German two week Pentecostal holiday and that is the reason why there are so many of them around!
We put in Bern on the GPS and just outside Zagreb we had the Croatian/Slovenian border which took one and a half hours to get through. Such a waste of time on a sunny day! We then purchased our Vignette at the correct time this time. We trundled on and suddenly realised we were in Italy and had not noticed any border at all!
We went past Trieste and Venice and ended up after a nice little rural drive at an attractive small walled city called Cittadella. We camped overlooking the walls in a free car park!

Tuesday 22nd May.

Woke up at 7.30 to children gathering outside to wait for a coach to take them somewhere and it is now raining. We walked into the walled city and had a coffee for breakfast before looking around and taking a few photos. Then we set off for France, we ad hoped to use the Petit St. Bernard Pass but it was still closed which meant a heft toll for the Mount Blanc Tunnel. Once through the Alps we headed for Albertville but pulled up at a lovely remote camp site in a Ski-ing Village called Praz sur Arly. Cows on t
Croatia to Slovenia border - form an orderly queue
