We finished our stay on Lake Garda by driving the 40 miles or so round the top of the lake which gets much narrower and steeper sided in the north. The road on the West side is very impressive with tunnels and balconies practically the whole way down. We stopped for lunch in Limone which nestles in a 'hollow' in the rocky face and is a warren of steep cobbled streets full of bars, cafes and nice little boutiques. Its also a popular boat trip from the other side of the lake and was full of trippers consuming huge ice creams. Lost Rosemary for over an hour but she didn't seem to mind for once. We moved on to Lake Iseo which is much smaller and less commercialised, but has an island with a 2000 ft mountain on it, so just as spectacular. However like most lakes it has its share of rain. The day we chose for a trip around the lake developed into a typical English lake district day out - wet. It finished with another cracking thunder storm - begining to lose count of them on this trip. The site we are staying on is very small, only 64 lawned pitches, but immaculately maintained. Never seen such high tech sanitary facilties and the owner is brushing and mowing grass within 30min of a pitch being vacated.
