152 IN THE LAND OP THE BORA. 



CHAPTER XVIII. 



As one of my principal objects in writing this book 

 has been to induce others to go and do likewise, 

 and to avail themselves of the opportunity pre- 

 sented by a country probably more suitable to 

 such trips, by reason of its climate, inexpensiveness, 

 natural beauties, and perfect security, than any 

 other in Europe, and in which alone shooting, 

 fishing, boating, bathing, and camping can be 

 equally enjoyed, I propose to conclude this 

 part with a chapter which shall contain such 

 information useful to such imitators of our idea as 

 cannot be directly ascertained from the preceding 

 pages. 



Leaving the question of camp outfit till later on, 

 I will only remark here that this is an expense that 

 may be dispensed with, if desired. Rough ac- 

 commodation can be obtained at most villages, 

 either in the house of the priest or in that of the 

 capo luogo, or village headman ; and though this is 

 not a plan I should prefer, it certainly saves a large 

 item in the total cost, especially where a short 

 trip (say a month) is contemplated.
