Day at Lake Garda

We explored Largo di Garda via the local boats. After a special hotel breakfast we caught the ferry across the lake to Bardolina. The place was busy as it was market day! It took at least an hour to walk through the markets with a wonderful collection for tourists and locals. In this part of Italy there are lots of Italian tourists and we also passed several large "camping areas" with caravans and motor homes.
We walked to the next village  of Garda to the north about an hour in the hot sun. As we approached we did stop for both drinks and lunch.
Arriving at the town, we had had enough so paid a supplement for a fast boat back to Sirmione.

                           As we cleared the peninsula we had a good view of the Roman ruins.

Could one mother duck have this many ducklings. They greeted us as we arrived in Bardolino.

                                                  There was also a swan and its cygnets.

Gail on the Bardolino waterfront. We actually spent most of the time walking through the markets. Todays turn was Bardolino's.

                         Looking into the glare over the bay at Bardolino. A fairly liquid lunch!

                                          The scenery always look better through a glass!

                                               Our hotel taken from the ferry on our return.

                     We still had time for a read, a swim and attend to chores before dinner

                                                 A very relaxing dinner at a local pizzeria.
