Today, we have been enjoying the 27 degree sunshine and clear skies of Lake Garda and have taken the opportunity to test drive Linda's new Specialist bike around the lake shore. To be honest if Linda's bike handling skills continue to improve at the pace set today, then Laura Trott may well have some new competition as the Olympic Games in Rio draw closer!
Lake Garda is a beautiful area but the major drawback for us is that it is so incredibly busy. Apparently it is the last holiday fling of both Germans and Dutch who invade the area in their thousands at this time of year just prior to their children returning to school next week.
The site, Camping Del Garda is the antithesis of everything that we love about caravanning. Nearly 1000 pitches, children all over the place and Karaoke and disco blaring out until 10.30 at night. And yet, it is a safe and secure environment for families to enjoy and last night we slept the sleep of the dead so it can't be all bad.
We ventured briefly out in the car today and discovered a wonderful town and market at Desenzano Del Garda. We also discovered their wonderful array of Gelateria which made me think that I had died and gone to heaven. I insisted on sampling everyone of these establishments and so 23 cornets and 35 Euros later I was unable to eat my tea!
Tomorrow, we are continuing with the literary bent when we try to seek out Two Gentlemen in Verona.
