Many people travelling by motorhome often prefer pitches (simple overnight stops) to campsites. The reason may be that they are closer to cities or attractions and that they do not have to pay for things they are not interested in (playgrounds, water slides, entertainment, etc.). But what is a reasonable price for a pitch?

Now we are in place in Piteå and prepared for the Stora Nolia fair that starts tomorrow. It has taken two days to drive up and we have had nice company of motorhome friends all the way. There was an overnight stay in Örnsköldsvik and a small trip past Bea's smokehouse in Jävre before we rolled into the caravan park in Piteå.

Now we have found a modern campsite in Albania at Radhima. We've written a lot about simple sites and campsites in the country. Now we want to tell you that there are modern sites too! Right now we are at Camper Stop Cekodhima, at Radhima on the west coast in the district of Vlora. We call it a "site" because we're in a gravel car park, but it has all the services you'd expect from a modern western campsite.

Puglia, or Apulia as it is called in Italian, is the region in southern Italy that goes down in the 'heel'. Where the Adriatic and Ionian seas meet, you'll find everything from architecture and ancient culture to good food and long, beautiful beaches. Puglia is the Italians' own holiday paradise, and it's not hard to see why they love this part of Italy.

Tropea in Italy took us by storm. The cliffs are high and the village sits at the top overlooking the deep blue sea and white beaches. This medieval town is filled with cosy alleys and outdoor cafes where you can enjoy food and wine. A holiday in Calabria feels just right right now!

We have now found a pitch in Pozzallo, Sicily. High season and 35 degree heat is stressful when travelling, and Sicily is probably better at another time of the year. Campsites are of course also significantly more expensive during the high season and we would like to find affordable pitches, but asphalt parking without shade is tough in the heat ... One positive thing is that despite the high season, it has not been full anywhere.

Now we have arrived at Marina di Ragusa, which is on the coast not far from Ragusa. We rolled into the car park here late last night. This is a fairly ordinary site on an asphalt car park, but there are services (even showers!) and we got a fantastic welcome from Tony, who immediately wanted to tell us all about where we had come, about the beer festival going on and how to find our way around the town.

We often write about 'caravan sites' on this blog, but what exactly is a caravan site? What is the difference between a site and a campsite - and does it look different in different countries? We thought we'd try to clarify the concepts.
