A very humid day out!

Today we welcomed a very special guide to the Hazelhut: Luigi - an expert on the Fagetta Depressa di Lago di Vico.
Picture
When we arrived we encountered some researchers from the local university.  They were on the look out for very rare insects.
Picture
Luigi explained the geography of the area.  It turns out that we were standing in a volcanic crater looking at this map!
Picture
Then he told us about some of the biggest trees in the forest.  We measured one and it was 5 metres in circumference, another was more than 6!
Picture
Then we met the Pinocchio tree, or the 'Panciona' tree.
Picture
Picture
We also saw insect and bat houses, a protected plant called 'pungitopo' and these strange sculptures!
Picture
Then we raced back for lunch!
Picture
The children LOVED their home-made panini!
Picture
Picture
But they seemed to love the play area even more!
Picture
Picture
Next we drove up to a local beauty spot to enjoy the view and learn a little more local geography!
Picture
Picture
Then we headed back for a much needed dip in the pool!
Picture
In the evening we had the much desired falò with the correct pizzas at last!!!!
