Monte Argent Ario

Today we drove South from Alberese with the intention of visiting Monte Argent Ario which is an island that's connected to mainland Italy by two causeways with a lagoon in the middle. First we drove to Porto Santo Stefano which is in the North of the island but the parking area was closed and we couldn't find anywhere to stop - the only real disadvantage of travelling in a motorhome is that it's difficult to find a 7m parking space! We then drove to Porto Ercol which is in the South of the island only to find that the entire town is closed to motorhomes. In disgust we decided to take out money elsewhere (who knows we may have bought an ice cream!) and drove on South until we came to an Ariee di Sosta in Montalto Marina where we decided to stay the night. We spent the afternoon on a rather scrubby beach enjoying yet another lovely sunny day.

Porto Santo Stefano - apparently this is where the rich and famous hang out. At the back of the town when we were looking for a parking place we saw lots of boatsheds with massive motor yachts (£1m+) in storage....
