We dragged ourselves up bright and early today then meandered down top the ferry stop, lucky there was a café so latte macchiato and cappuccino to get us started. We jumped on the 09:35 ferry and as it was picking up along the lake before Sirmione we got to see a few other ferry docks! How interesting. We pulled into Sirmione and hopped off the ferry a proper tourist trap but very nice. We took a quick look about and them had a coffee. Then a longer walk around the cobbled streets. I quickly decided that it maybe were the rich like to stay, as I saw 3 Panoramas, 2x Carrera 4S and umpteen Big Mercs. The place it really pretty if you like that sort of thing, we wandered to the public beach and climbed up the hill just behind it and sat taking in the scenery, reading and dozing, very Italian of us, well it was after 12:00. After another wander about the island and passed the natural springs we though food was in order, so we found a nice Pizzeria/Tratoria near one of the plethora of piazza and settled in for a long lunch, Inslata to start the a Massive bowl of Moule Molinere, with wine and water, followed by gelato and latte, spot on, the only issue was my credit card getting declined, so on the phone to Qatar and this was sorted in a flash, well nearly a flash. Then a call to Mum to wish her happy Birthday as we sat waiting for the ferry to take us back.
Ah and as I forgot to get the chicken out of the freezer last evening we will be mainly eating in the pizzeria tonight.. Yum yum.
We are off to town tomorrow, Salo I think for a few essentials, and then we climb the alps to Austria and back toward the Fatherland, and its the sizzling piggy.
NOTE FROM BEE: He can make the most romantic place sound like a take away from Al Banush!!
