Ciao from Venice, today we have driven from the north of lake guarda to the peninsula south of Venice. Its about 30° and a bit 'sticky'; the cloud gathered as we travelled south. We are but a boat ride from the city which we'll be heading to tomorrow. We're camped at a camperstop rather than a campsite, but its quite a bit cheaper and just has basic facilities like loo, shower and electric. €26 a night.
Lake Guarda was an experience, we went to Sirmione in the south to find a camper stop listed in the book. It was lakeside, but no toilet so after using the free wifi we head off towards the east of the lake. Every site we came to was full, every site had a queue of caravans or vans outside all on the one narrow road that goes around the lake. We stopped at one place which we ended up being glad it was full at over €60 a night! It reminded me of lake windermere, the main towns rammed with tourists and tat and then beautiful sections of scenery and not much else. We followed the road north as it was getting more picturesque and there was a camper stop right at the top of the lake. Probably an extra 90km then but we went through a brilliant series of tunnels with the lake side partly open (as seen on top gear???) and we got the second to last spot on the camper stop. Exhausted but just happy to have somewhere to park after 6 hours! Oh and they closed the loos overnight...why!?
We we're staying in Torbole, at lake guarda aside from the days events these views we're beautiful. we we're lucky mark understood some German, all the tourists here have a D on their camper van and the Italian waiters, newsagents and all others speak to you in German!
