After 20km’s stopped at nice park by the shore of the hydro dam. This park had hundreds of BBQ areas with own water, benches and sink!! Amazing. Not many people here so parked and sat under the trees to catch up with the internet jobs. I put a chocolate cake onto cook. A few people stopped including 3 militar guys who were actually nazy for the river/border. One guy was really interested as had only seen 4x4 campers on the net and mentioned unimog.
A couple on a bike stopped and after a little while invited us to dinner said they’d come back in two hours.

Part of this recreation park had many horses in makeshift stables...there were going to be races. This side of the park had at least half of its picnic area used.

The couple on the motorbike returned and we followed them to their fantastic home. A very rustic abode that Giordano had built 20 years ago. It had a huge garden. His father used to have a saw mill there and had owned the house next door.

They took us on a 20km drive to a hill top to watch the sun set then home to their place and dinner with some of their English speaking friends. A great night. Finally got upstairs to bed at 0200hrs. Nice to have air conditioning.

One item I had never seen before was a shower head with built in hot water heater.....
