Garda is too far to sensibly travel in one day, so we break the
journey near Geneva. It’s a beautiful evening and we seize the opportunity for
a walk after having sat in the car all day. From the site we soon reach open
countryside, as the photo shows, but are in fact only four miles from the
centre of Geneva which is directly in front of the camera, and even the tall
fountain in Lake Geneva is just visible (ever so just visible).
Day two sees us through the Mont Blanc tunnel and into
Italy. Weather is thundery and misty but we reach the campsite on Lake Garda by
5.00pm. The next day the clouds rolled back and we’ve since enjoyed several
days of warm sunny weather. We were lucky enough to be allocated a lakeside
spot.
Looking to our left, there’s still some snow on the
mountains that seems out of place with the sun bathers in the foreground.
At the weekend the fine weather brings out the residents and visitors in droves. The sun worshippers are joined by every type of pleasure boater: pedaloes, yachts, inflatables, jet skis, and especially powerboats. Here are two macho men racing across the bay. Hope you’re impressed, girls.
