MOTORHOME GETAWAYS Graham, Kerriann, and their chorkie, Hugo, head off to explore Europe and the UK in their Hymer, Dickie. There is usually a theme, be it stone circles, Black Madonnas or just fabulous cheese. Let's see what it turns out to be this time.

Rocks and Romans
Who knew northern Italy had the most fabulous examples of prehistoric rock art? Not us anyway. I stumbled across some information about Vallecamuna online and, as it was relatively close we drove across to the area. As well as roman amphitheatres and the most beautiful statue of Minerva we have seen (in Cividate Cammuna) their are several locations full of rock art. The main one we visited was Naquane in Capo di Ponte.
There is a museum in town which has some carved stelae from the Cemmo site and others. We stayed At a 10 euro a night site with its very own labyrinth to amuse children and foreigners like us. Below are some photos from both the roman and rock carving sites.
