Eurotrip day 5 29th Sep 2010 – Italy

We woke up late and had a relaxed breakfast before getting ready to walk along the lakeside to the actual town of Peschiera del Garda. It took about 20 minutes to walk there which was lovely in the good weather. We arrive in the town about 12pm and had a quick whizz around the shops before they shut for their siesta. We had a wander around the town before we chose a sunny café overlooking the lake for lunch. We sat here a while enjoying the scenery.

After lunch we went for a walk to the old town fort which was influenced by both Austrians and Venetians and took some pictures, the town was quiet now. Then we walked some more and bought some postcards and got an ice cream. I had fragola (strawberry) in an edible wafer tub while Alexa had her favourite pistachio in a cornet. We walked down to the water’s edge in the town and ate our ice creams and wrote our post cards by some ducks.

Then we took the lakeside walk back to our chalet stopping on the way to buy a disposable BBQ and some food to cook, including some salad and fruit. We sat outside on the veranda in the late afternoon sun having dinner and enjoying each other’s company. As the sun got lower the temperature also dipped so we went inside and watched a film and ate some profiteroles. We decide we would get up early the next morning and set our alarm so that we could see the sun rise as we heard the weather was about to change and the next day could be our last day of sunshine.
