We had a great Labor Day weekend camping here in Sicily at the beach. We went to a beach North/West of Agrigento, about 100 miles from home on the west side of Sicily. Our campground was called Erclea Minoa. http://www.eracleaminoavillage.it/.
The Italians were amazed by our HUGE 8 person tent and even took pictures. They asked how many people were staying in there. They were dumbfounded that we said only 2 of us. Americans always have to do things bigger. Our camp had a total of 11 people including kids, 4 tents, 21 chairs, 3 stoves, 4 ice chests, 5 tables, truck, SUV with trailer and a car. Europeans seem to travel much lighter. Most campers had a small car and a tent, and well not too much else. We met people mostly from Germany, but saw license plates from Poland, France and Italy too.
We had a wonderful, relaxing time. We even took Pinky, who slept in the tent, she is no outside dog. The guys and most of the kids went for a hike on Saturday around the point, and the ladies stayed back at the camp and chatted. Everyone got what they wanted. We needed the time off!
