Getting the tea this morning was a more pleasant experience this morning as it was much warmer – 11C rather than the typically 5C of recent mornings. This was good news but the bad news was that the warm weather brought rain with it. It started raining at 05:00 and rained continuously right up to the late afternoon when I posted this entry. This was the first day of the Odyssey where the weather really stopped us from doing what we wanted to do. For us, visiting Lake Garda is all about the views and today there were even less views than yesterday. Sirmione at the southern end of Garda was tempting but it is no fun wandering around a town in the rain. We decided to have another quiet day and will probably move on tomorrow.

I am really enjoying the Blog, golly gosh you are getting around, seeing some sights, supping the wine and above all tasting the local food. How on earth do you manage to remember all of the names - You must collect all of the leaflets and have all of the guide books. Which ones did you take with you? Lonely Planet? Rough Guide? If you want to see how the garden is getting on please see my Blogsite for Sunday 25th November.
Drive carefully now...mind how you go!
You are quite right about the names, I am absolutely hopeless with names of any type. I have to write them down or refer back to the map! We had the Fodor Guide to Italy but don't have anything for France specifically only a Lonely Planet guide for Europe. The tourist information offices are very good - if you can find them and they are not closed for those long lunch breaks.
