There was a good international selection of campers at the Aire overnight - German, French, Belgian and British! We had showers and serviced the van. Unfortunately I somehow forgot to replace the cap on the fresh water tank after filling it. We moved on to a local supermarket but when we arrived there we realised that the water filler cap was missing. We went back to the Aire to search for it but it was nowhere to be found. We discovered the location of a local camper dealer on Google and went there and bought a new filler cap. We then moved back to the nearby supermarket and did our grocery shop.

We moved on east crossing the wide river Adda en route.

We stopped for the day at the town of Stezzano near to the city of Bergamo. We initially parked at the town Aire. We used Google again to search for a launderette - this time with less success as it led us to a dry cleaner within walking distance. The woman there was very helpful and drew Ann a map as to how we could get to this seriously posh launderette. We drove there in the van.

It's like a mid range hotel with TV, drinks vending machine and really nice baskets to load and unload your laundry!

We were even able to park the van right outside the launderette while our clothes were washing and drying. Having done the laundry we returned to the town Aire which is a bit down at heel but free and the water is turned on.

Today we travelled 75 miles (121 kilometres). We are at N45.65596 E9.65250
