Vacation from vacation

After a few months of snow and winter we felt it was time for a touch of summer. So me, my girlfriend Åse Marie and Martin "Skogan" Skogfält packed up my car with climbing and camping gear and headed down to Finale Ligure at the coast of Italy, about 5 hours drive away from Engelberg. Finale Ligure was a cosy little town with warm weather, tasty ice cream and really good climbing.

Not all climbing routes were well mainained. Italian style...

We stayed in tents at a camping ground. The camping was huge and had its own soccer field, basketball-, tennis- and badminton courts. We were the only guests at the camping.

It was nice and warm in the sun

But it was a bit chilly in the shade sometimes

I'm trying to secure her in a relaxed way.

There is no question of the gender of the Italian road workers.
