Thursday 14th – Travelling and Lake Garda, Italy
A travelling day. Despite the forecast of a lovely day we awoke to yet more rain and had to pack up the beast in the pouring rain. Not much fun! The windscreen was leaking and as my briefcase was under the drivers console I awoke to find it soaking wet. Anyway we were away by 9:30 and off to Lake Garda and Italy. The journey was due to take 4 hours and we went through some wonderful scenery as we crossed through the alps (the tunnel was 23km long!).
Needless to say once in Italy the traffic deteriorated and with half an hour to go we got stuck in traffic for an hour. We arrived at the campsite just outside Lazise at 4pm and were pretty slick in our set-up drills. We have a pitch from where you can see the lake and the campsite is small and better than I had expected.

the pedalo
We soon set off to the lake and had great fun swimming and I hired a pedalo with a water slide. The temperature was 34 degrees and we couldn’t help but notice the contrast from this morning where it was wet and cold. Everything we removed from the vehicle such as bikes, chairs etc was soaking wet and dried off pretty quickly.
‘the beast’
We had a barb-e-que for supper and the boys played table tennis. We then set off for another swim at about 9:30 and came back from the lake at 11ish. Bed…..
