Natural Park of S.Alessio - Part II
admin April 21st, 2007
The whole trip to S.Alessio park started in the early morning and ended in the afternoon, so not very long (including the 2h drive we had to take). Still it was a very pleasant trip, not boring at all! we planned it in advance, so we bought some food like toasts, sandwiches, pizza and tasteful “crescenti” (a kind of salty bread, cooked in an oven, typical of our zone) so we could use the existing “pic-nic” zone inside the park, which is very large with lot of seats.
In the pictures below you can see more funny inhabitants of the park. Some ibis so colorful that even my digital camera had some troubles to picture their red feathers color correctly!
A very cute parrot featuring some wonderful colours…
A happy turtles family that was having a sort of trip in a small river nearby…
and more animals like the fawn below that was a bit scared even if I took the photo from long distance!
As you can see, this place is really worth a visit, you won’t be bored for sure! In addition, remember that in the neighbour area there’s also the famous churches complex of “Certosa di Pavia”, so if you want you can see both things at once… we did it that same afternoon, as I’ll tell you in the next articles.
[...] As I told you in my other blog, the S.Alessio Oasis is located very close to the famed “Certosa di Pavia”. Since I heard a lot of good things about it but I’ve never been there, we decided to go visit it that same day in the afternoon. In the picture above you can see it from the parking, the first sight the visitor has once he arrives. Really majestic, don’t you think ? [...]
