Friday 8th – Monday 11th March 2013
We were very lucky most days to enjoy warm sunny weather as
we drove around the lakes of Northern Italy, although Lake Garda seemed to
create it’s own weather system at times with low mist rolling in very quickly.
Each lake was slightly different, all quite well populated
and extremely picturesque. There seem to be very few foreign tourists about at
the moment and the whole area is slowly starting to gear up for the season
which presumably kicks off at Easter.
On Tuesday we will take a ferry across the middle of Lake Maggiore and we plan
to head for the Simplon Pass which climbs up to an altitude of 2005 meters as
it enters Switzerland. Having checked the weather online it looks settled and
the pass is open all year except in really snowy conditions. We will then
travel along the southern side of Lake Geneva back into France to pick up Owen
at the weekend.
