Addendum: Sestri Levante

Unfortunately, there is a small addendum. Our departure from the Fossa Lupara campsite left us with a big scare. Apparently, we or Nicole did not check if Polly was properly attached, and when we drove away from the site, what we feared the most happened. Nicole heard a crash, looked in the rearview mirror, and simply said, 'It's off.' We quickly got out of the car and chased after Polly. Unfortunately, she rolled downhill at the entrance, so despite the handbrake being pulled and triggered, she didn't stop. We ran after her and tried to reduce the speed somehow by holding onto Polly. But the two of us can't stop 500 kg, and she crashed into a wall. In the end, the crash sounded worse than it actually was. We were incredibly lucky! Besides a big scratch on the decorative strip, only the loop on the safety chain broke. The ladies from the campsite rushed to help us and called all the stores/workshops to see if they had a new safety chain or loop for us. Thanks to them, we were able to lift Polly up again and park her on a curb. Since nobody in the area had the necessary spare part, they called the groundskeeper and 'jack-of-all-trades'. In just a few minutes, he found the needed spare part, and we were able to continue our journey. We were lucky in our misfortune! Nothing else happened except for the scratch, the broken loop, and Nicole's torn pants. As a token of gratitude, we bought a little flower for the ladies at the campsite office and are still grateful for so much helpfulness!
