We spent a fabulous day yesterday buying shoes, the shoes that should have been purchased on our first visit, I’m glad they weren’t though because I’ve got two new pairs of boots! \u00a0They aren’t very sophisticated but as Child One would say, ‘They’re so you Mum!’ They are Italian though and I think they’re very chic!<\/p>\n
We discovered the most delicious cheese ever and it comes from a village in the hills above the lake, \u00a0the guy in the shop recommended that we visit so we spent the afternoon circumnavigating the Lake via the little village. \u00a0The lake is at 40m above sea level and we went up to 900m almost vertically with hairpin bends every thirty metres, Vanley was valiant and I had my eyes shut while R laughed like a maniac! \u00a0The views from the top were amazing, the lake glittering below, tiny villages like toys perched on the side of snow capped mountains and the trees, red, orange. gold and green.<\/p>\n
We found the cheese village but unfortunately it was closed, the whole of Italy and France close between one and three it would seem, very civilised but a bit inconvenient for us tourists. \u00a0We carried on driving until we had gone around the entire lake, we found so many lovely towns which we only have four more days to explore. \u00a0We went back to the shop and asked the guy to get us some cheese to take home, whether it gets that far remains to be seen.<\/p>\n
In one of the supermarkets we saw bottles of wine with wicker around them, we bought one so we could put a candle in it, the wine went so well with the cheese that we are drinking it like water, we’ll have a home like an Italian restaurant circa 1975 when we eventually get one!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
