Wandering and window shopping.

Monday 25th June

We headed today to the town of Salo on the Lago di Garda. The day started out a little cooler and it looked like rain was a possibility. We decided to head first for the tourist info centre to find out about a cable car in the opposite side of the lake and also about wineries in the area. The girl at the office was extremely helpful and we found out that there is much more to do in the area than our 2 days was going to accommodate.

As we sat down to eat lunch in one of the piazzas in Salo the rain started, but with a bit of strategic positioning of the table and chairs we were still able to enjoy our lunch outdoors. We wandered the streets of Salo - a lot of bag and clothing shops to browse. I am looking for a handbag but so far have not seen one that really grabs my eye. There is always Florence to come.

A few scenes in the town of Salo.
This town has a history going back to the 1300s.

Beautiful Italian wrought iron balconies
- lots of flowering window boxes.

Eating places all along the lakeside. 

Sorry, it's  ABC. The colours in the marble in some of these churches are just beautiful.  

Look up! You never know what you will see.

We were both feeling pretty tired today so had a short day out then back to the hotel where we relaxed with a swim in their pool. I'm sure he said 29deg, but it sure didn't feel that warm. Still, it was very relaxing.

Pizza for dinner at the other restaurant in town, and a very nice pizza it was. I think I am going to be over pizza and pasta by the time we leave Italy.
