Another frustrating start to a long day of driving on motorways with many stretches of roadworks and single lanes often with no indication of work being done. The Italians totally ignore the reduced speed limits, which is understandable given that they are often 40 kmph - a ridiculously slow limit. A huge queue delayed us by about 30 minutes but for the lorries, confined to the inside lane, the delay must have been more than an hour.
Things improved when we turned inland towards Lucca. The motorway was much quieter, especially after Florence, and driving became more pleasant.
We drove much longer than we would have liked today, partly due to a lack of aires and open campsites, but mainly because we fancied staying by a lake. Camping Village Punta Navaccia is on Lake Trasimeno and we were lucky enough to get a pitch next to the water with lovely views over the lake and it's islands. Grebes dived looking for food and coots swam serenely chatting to each other. Very peaceful.
