Wednesday 14 October - Verona to Lago Maggiore

We got up before the flies, had breakfast, learned about the prison next door to the camp site (sounds like a lot better educational input than a UK prison - prisoners working with animals in a dog hotel and with horse riding).

We drove about 3 hours to a camp site in Lesa on the western shore of Lago Maggiore.

We had lunch, and after a suitable interval went for a swim in the lake as the day was starting to cool off at 17:00. The lake was about 19 Degrees, and very pleasant.

We walked to the supermarket for some urgent supplies (coffee), then had tea sitting outside - lovely with no sign of flies or mosquitoes.

We are staying at Camping Solcio, which is great, except for the continuin g use of power tools in the boat yard next door, which went on until about 17:30. Hopefully they will be doing something else tomorrow!
