A beautiful hot sunny day and a bank holiday here in Italy as we took the courtesy bus the couple of miles down to Deiva Marina, noting that in fact there is a footpath from about half a mile south of the campsite. There isn’t much of a resort here just a few hotels and campsites (mostly higher up the road as we are) and the main beach is understandably heaving!….

Though we do manage to find a quiet corner, where there are a few other dogs, for a bit of a sit down but to be honest it was too hot for Tilly and though there are other dogs on the beach, the signage quite clearly states no dogs so we didn’t loiter. We wandered along the promenade to see if walking along the coast for a bit was an option but to the left just led into a campsite (no dogs) with it’s own tiny private beach, Spiaggia Camping Framura….

At the end of the site was a closed off tunnel preventing any further progress, so we about turned and headed in the opposite direction and low and behold….

So it would appear that short of doing some serious hiking, there is only one way in and out of the village. Oh well, we’ve had a nice walk and rather than calling for the courtesy bus we decided to walk back….

I imagine that tomorrow will be even busier, so we have decided to have a bit of a day off and do some laundry and other van bits and just be….
