Afternoon Tea at Lake Garda

Another hot day here in sunny Italy.   We left at various times following the main group away from the Hotel.  I was with John Muirhead and we were diverted only a mile from the hotel which took us along a scenic route through the valleys, by small lakes and missing the Autostrada.    Very warm, so John and I set off from Triento up and over to Lake Garda -  at least I can say I have seen it - stopped for tea, and ended up traversing the entire length.  The biggest Lake in Europe, marvellous, mountains on one side of the road and water on the other.
Shame we had to move on,  but needs must so we headed on towards Lake Como and eventually, after seven hours, and more hills and bends, made it to the Albergo Rosa  Ristorante in Carenno.
This is a small family run hotel and the Owner prepared a wonderful meal for us .  So to bed with an early rise and a much longer run tomorrow to Annecy in France  via Mont Blanc.
