Oddly, if you decide not to stay the night but just use the service point, the cost is still \u20ac5. Even more odd, the service point is completely open, so unless you&#8217;re English or German, you can just use it for free.

It refused to light on the gas supply, the little clicker light wouldn&#8217;t flash. Removing a panel from the back of Dave in the dark and sopping rain, we couldn&#8217;t see anything wrong so rather than waste all our food, we dispensed with our morals and hooked back up again. This morning the fridge resumed fully functioning again. Could have been our leisure battery being low on juice; it&#8217;s taken a beating the past few days with no hook-up, little direct sunshine on the solar panel and mainly 2nd and 3rd gear driving so probably not much charge from the alternator.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6017\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/DSC03037.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6017\" class=\"wp-image-6017 size-large\" title=\"DSC03037\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/DSC03037-1024x155.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"620\" height=\"94\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/DSC03037-1024x155.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/DSC03037-300x45.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-6017\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Druogno this morning.

We&#8217;d see nothing, and as the weather so grim, we knew were were going to be stuck in the van for a while so decided to use the time making tracks south. Out came the map, guidebooks and database of sleeping spots. Much deliberation and we decided to stick Acqui Terme into the sat nav, which showed as over a 3 hour drive, and stop somewhere along the way, wherever looked nice. As it turned out, once were past Lago Maggiore, nowhere along the Po valley looked nice, just a steady stream of run down towns, fields and the odd maniac driver. Luckily the roads were like stretched elastic, running dead straight between the towns, almost like the Romans built them, erm.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6026\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/DSC03048.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6026\" class=\"wp-image-6026 size-content\" title=\"DSC03048\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/DSC03048-620x264.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"620\" height=\"264\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-6026\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Po valley: Italy&#8217;s industrial heartland, but a pretty uninspiring place for us.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>After a couple of hours we pulled in for a breather and to let Charlie out as he&#8217;d started to roam around the van bored.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6024\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/DSC03054.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6024\" class=\"wp-image-6024\" title=\"DSC03054\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/DSC03054.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"620\" height=\"466\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/DSC03054.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/DSC03054-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/DSC03054-174x131.jpg 174w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/DSC03054-70x53.jpg 70w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-6024\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">We stopped off for lunch outside a huge out-of-town (as they all seem to be) cemetery. The graves mostly have photos of those passed away, which freaks us out a little.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Another hour or so brought us here. The town&#8217;s provided a brief Italian experience already, as we walked in to eye it up and to top up our Italian Internet SIM. We found the Vodafone shop and were pleased to see only the two assistants only had one set of customers each. Half an hour later we&#8217;re still stood smiling at it all, the shop now packed with foot-tapping punters behind us. One guy was even braying like a horse in\u00a0frustration. As expected, there was no queuing system, although one lady did see we had waited longer and allowed us in front. This assistant spoke no English, so we folded\u00a0ourselves\u00a0back into the mass to wait for the other. She was serving a chap who was buying an iPhone, slowly, and with much discussion. I almost cracked up as he requested various covers to be brought to him and closely inspected each of them, with half of Italy behind him chomping at the bit! Once he&#8217;d finally done a collective sigh of relief whooshed across the shop, and Ju magnificently elbowed a\u00a0potential\u00a0queue pusher out of the way to get a served in a couple of minutes.
