<\/p>\nWe stayed at a place called Peschiera on the south eastern tip of Lake Guarda in a campsite called Butterfly, it was spotlessly clean and cheerfully guarded by security men in classy Italian uniforms, the sun was shining and all the shops were closed except Lidl where we bought a vegetable dish with quinoa as we were intending to be healthy. \u00a0It was disgusting so we binged on cheese and bread. \u00a0 We slept well and headed out the following morning to explore, Peschiera is beautiful, the town is pretty and because it was out of season there were hardly any people there. \u00a0It’s not the most beautiful town on Lake Garda but in the brilliant sunshine at 29 degrees it was a perfect was to recover from the ship.<\/p>\n
We stopped for lunch, salad, at a little bistro on the lake where we spent a jolly time reminiscing about the boat and discussing R being propositioned by a prostitute while the dog and I were walking on the deck, his main concern at the time was that he may have hurt her feelings by turning her down, the alternative may, in the long run, have worried him a little more and I didn’t think she was that bothered.<\/p>\n

We left this morning to travel to Germany because I want to visit the Neuschwanstein Castle, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is my first favourite film. \u00a0Travelling through breathtaking scenery as we crossed the dolomites, we were practically silent all the way here through vineyards and terraces of apple trees hemmed in by mountains that were slowly changing colour from green to yellow, orange and red. \u00a0There was a castle on every corner, each more spectacular than the last. \u00a0We stopped for lunch by an actual bubbling mountain stream, didn’t stay long because it was in the shade and a bit chilly. \u00a0We drove through a bit of Austria, which after Italy looked a bit tired and arrived at the German campsite after dark. \u00a0It is not an understatement to say that it has the most amazing toilets I’ve ever seen with a spa, sauna and heated toilets even a shower room for dogs, I think I’m going to enjoy Germany.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
