San Daniele del Friuli is a village in the north-east of Italy. We visit it quite often, I would say every year. The reason is its quite good position close to the motorway from Austria to Italy. How far is San Daniele from the motorway + price for motorway toll…

Grado is a small but pretty town north of Venice. When I've talked to other caravanners about it, most people don't know it at all and have never been to Grado by caravan. Grado has a very nice little centre. There are boats parked right in the center, there is…
