Tue 14th Oct to Wed 15th


The lake towns are served by a comprehensive ferry service, some taking vehicles. On Wednesday we caught the ferry to Sirmione, via several attractive stop-offs. Sirmione is a town on the tip a 3 mile peninsula projecting into the lake, and is olde worlde and, of course, touristy. Out of the town there are lovely views, Roman remains & caves.

Our water pump packed up a week ago & we were directed to a local caravan shop, which we couldn’t find. No problem, as we can use the showers on site instead of the caravan’s. Today the mystery was revealed: you enter the caravan shop through a high-class glassware shop. There is no signage whatsoever to indicate this arrangement on the glassware shop frontage. And they actually had what we wanted - a spare pump. The set-up must do wonders for their sales of caravan spares & equipment!
