Looking across Lake Garda in the morning
We had a very restful night after a long drive yesterday. The weather was quite pleasant so we picked up our bikes (provided free as part of our booking) and headed into the town which is only a few hundred metres away. There is a bike & pedestrian track along the lakeside and the streets in the old town are all car-free. We found a nice cafe by the lake and enjoyed a lunch in the intermittent sunshine. Headed back to our accommodation after some supermarket shopping, then went out for a walk around the town to examine the sights and the shops at a leisurely pace. By mid afternoon a misty foggy blanket had settled over the lake but things brightened up when Caro finally found the shoe shop of her dreams! She played her part in helping to pull the Italian economy out of the doldrums, then we headed back to prepare a home-cooked meal and to watch Sky News (in English!).

Not a very active day but very enjoyable and just enough material for me to write a paragraph.
