Wednesday 28th October 2009 – Punta Braccetto, Sicily, Italy



Another day of relaxation – I could get used to this. Lots more reading, chatting with the other English family on the site and a short walk to the bakers and mini market, inevitably called 'Maxi Market'. The campsite is very nearly full with many Germans who are well established and are probably going to spend the Winter here. The site really very good, flowers line all of the pitches, the private toilet facilities, showers, washing-up and clothes washing areas are immaculate and the beach is clean and offers excellent swimming. Two bakers arrive every morning to sell break, panettone and other goodies, a fruit and vegetable van comes later and this morning we had a man selling fish. I can understand why people choose this site for a long stay. Having said that, there is not a lot to see in the area and although most people have bikes and the area is relatively flat, I think that I would soon get bored. The most popular pastime is laying on the beach and that wouldn't suit us.
We have decided to move on tomorrow but have thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would certainly return to this site next time we visit Sicily.
