I just read the following article and am very surprised at this. Over the last 2 years I have been on a Contiki tour at the very same campsite.
Aussie woman dies on Italy Contiki tour | The Australian.
The Seven Hills campsite was one of my favourites, it had the awesome showers in the cabins that had the full body sprays. Although, camping was crazy as the ground was very rocky and hard to put the pegs on.
One difference about this site over others is that you have to use these pre-loaded cards to buy stuff. Now this seems all in well however on the night you leave most of the people I knew would empty the cards at the super-amazing bar, and Rome is one of the heavier drinking spots that I have been to.
Interesting enough the article also goes on to state, “Contiki said the tour group had continued to Venice.” Now although Rome is a heavy drinking spot. The Fusina Bar at Camping Fucina in Venice is more so. They have the Amnesia drinks for about 8 Euro that go down way to easy.
It must be really hard on the Contiki staff to actually lose a camper in this manner. Usually people just get left behind when they partied too hard.
