Colleferro to Cassino

4th June 2013 

After a good nights sleep we got up had breakfast and emptied the waste and filled up with water and set off to Cassino. As we were driving down the motorway we passed more hill towns and the scenery was still very lush and green! As we approached Cassino we could see Montecassino on a hilltop. When we arrived at the Aire we discovered it was a nice neat little campsite at the foot of Montecassino. We went for a walk in to town and yet again the rain started! We stopped at a cafe for drinks and shelter from the rain then walked to the British cemetery , when we arrived there were other Brits there some young cadets who were supposed to be playing with there band at the abbey, but they found out it was closed. They kindly gave us a lift back to the main road and they were going up to the abbey. We then walked back to the motorhome stopping for a coffee and baguette on the way. When we got back to the motorhome the rain finally stopped! On the Aire we met a few Brits a couple who had toured Italy before and a man on his own called Paul. Early in the evening Paul joined us in our motorhome for some company so we opened our 5 litre bottle of Tuscany red and had a bit of a chat, funnily enough he was a retired police officer who worked for Northumberland Police, he had sold up and was living the dream in his new house ( motorhome). La dolce vita in Italy.
