Day 30: Lake Garda, Italy


Stats... 79,50km in 4hrs 42mins. We had tinned fruit cocktail, half a roll with jam and hot chocolate for breakfast. We were on the road by 9am and we took a more tranquil route East again just kissing the edge of some hills. Our route has been flat since leaving the Alps and we like it that way for the moment! We have struggled today with slow roads, and the weather again turning for the worse. It rained so hard on several occassions we had to shoot under the nearest tree for some cover. We had to dress up in high vis outfits at one point after a couple of hairy roundabout moments where cars were not being the most observant. We had originally planned 2 days to get from Milan to Venice but by the way things are going it is more likely to be 4! We found our campsite again on the lake edge where the water is looking rather choppy and we already have several mossie bites...evil things! Why do they exist?
