A lovely sunny morning, so we packed up a picnic and set off through the little village of Pieve and began an uphill climb. We'd just started on the very steep path when a text told us that the family had arrived at Verona Airport ready for their flight home. Eventually our path levelled off a bit and although very narrow and rough, taking it fairly slowly we enjoyed the views over the lake and to the mountains all around us. A small group were having sailing instructions the whole time we were up there, and the voices do carry well in this landscape! A lot of the time we were looking back at our campsite in the distance and zooming in we could see our van and another pitched a few yards away. After a while, things changed - another one turned up in between! The path eventually took a dive downhill and led us into Mezzolago. That was when a text told us that they were safely landed at Gatwick. Yesterday, Hannah had looked at the weather forecast on her phone and said that we should have a sunny morning, but there would be thunderstorms later on. Strangely, after following the lakeside path back to the campsite, we'd just opened our door and there was a clap of thunder! That was the only one, but it did rain for about an hour soon after.
We'd so enjoyed our meal at the restaurant here last night that we felt we needed to give it another go! The staff are so welcoming and it is a beautiful pine building too. We both had very yummy pizzas and shared one of the meringue cakes - like you had last night, Adam!
