Venice > Verona > Lake Garda

Campsite: http://it.campingtiglio.it

Everybody has heard about the beauty of Venice, and after our stay it certainly lived up to our expectations so no disappointments there as can be seen by our last Campsite. However, our next stay caught us off the hoof as we hadn’t booked ahead and there seemed to be a local holiday in the Lake Garda region.

Our intention was always to stop at Verona on the way to Garda as this is a historic town renowned as the place Romeo and Juliet met at the balcony. I’ll be honest, it was a magical town, and really glad we took the opportunity to stay.

We were getting a little desperate as far as securing a campsite was concerned, but fortunately our camp at Bugaloo meant we had a contact that could help out due to an annual Italian VW meeting on the lake. So booking secured we turned up early and campsite looked a little unloved. On top of that the weather took a turn for the worst with a thunderstorm as we arrived at the pitch. But as the next few days unravelled it turned out to be a brilliant couple of days.

We met the local VW T3,T4, T5 and LT owners from Italy, and hooked up with Willam from the Bugaloo. Win Win 🙂

We also took a walk into Sirmione. Literally. We waited at the bus stop for over an hour and thought that because it was a holiday in Italy that no busses were running. Just as we left the bus stop a bus came by 🙁 . Long story short we did 25,000 steps each this day. Our flip flops were worn out 😉
