It
rained all night but, as I was making our morning cups of tea, the sound of
rain gradually faded away – it has stopped, I thought. I opened one of the
blinds to find that the air was full of large snowflakes. The temperature had
risen from 0.3°C
to a balmy 0.6°C
but the snow sent it back down again. The rain / snow / hail finally stopped at
about 12:30 – 23 hours of continuous precipitation. Then, much to our surprise,
the sun came out and the hills around the lake began to appear from behind the
shrouding mist. The lady on reception told us that it was 30°C at the end of last week but we were just happy
that it wasn’t raining.
The campsite is on Lake Corlo but, given the weather, we had only glimpsed it through
the van windscreen that I had cleverly angled so that we could see the
non-existent view. So, we jumped at the opportunity to get out for a walk and
we wandered along the path next to the lake dodging puddles. The views were
lovely with the hills reflected in the still waters.
When we returned, we decided to give the campsite restaurant a go and were very
impressed. Given that there are only a handful of guests on the site, we were
lucky that restaurant was open and the food was excellent and substantial.
