A trip into the heart of Dolomites, Italy

This tour in the Dolomites is started by chance: the relatives of Mansuè (TV) we were invited for a feast day of August, as is customary, as in so many, everyone brings something to the table, who the starters, who the First, who to me is the seconds and touched the sweets for the occasion I made a Bavarian and a fig tart with jam I just made the problem was transporting the Bavarian had to stay cool, the only solution was the camper refrigerator, instead of using the car, we went to the party with our house peddler.
Move the camper for so little, there seemed to be the case, then the idea was to use the opportunity to continue the road visiting the Dolomites.

In the morning, after taking the escalator, go to the old town of Belluno, with its ancient buildings and beautiful squares, shopping at a flea market of fruits and vegetables and return to parking, in a machine with at the start of the escalator, introduced token, it displays how much to pay, amazed, we pay € 1.80, there is no distinction between cars and campers, we thank the hospitality of this town of Belluno cheap, many other mayors should imitate that order. Exiting to the right is a place for loading and unloading water free.
On the way we stop to Rivamonte Agordino, to visit a mining town of Valle Imperina, now abandoned, but turned into a museum, where you can feel how hard life was for miners in those days, where men and boys, naked heat, worked and died again with the means and tools obsolete.
At noon we stopped along a river on the outskirts of Agordo, reaching a patch of dirt you see on the left after a bridge, then into a parking lot of the center made a brief visit to the country, very beautiful because surrounded by mountains spectacular.
Continue to Alleghe, arrived, a sign indicates no parking campers throughout, however, another report indicates a stop at the end of the country, is a dirt road where there are already other campers, a narrow road along the lake will bring us back downtown, the town is beautiful and features such as all the municipalities of the lake, in addition to the various sights with photographer even the mountains around, unfortunately not an expert I do not know their names. We see some movement to block access roads, a traffic cop tells us that there will be a celebration at 22.30 and will culminate with fireworks, we'll see from the edge of the lake near the parking camper.

At the top of the show is great, unfortunately the clouds hide most of the mountains, shooting photos, but will not be the best.
In return we are only four, the others will go down as expected on foot and others with the glider.
A tip for campers, do not stop to Canazei but continues to Campitello, the place is more beautiful, less chaotic and there is a place to stop, without slot in camp.
