Italian Lakes: Como, Maggiore and More

Lake Mezzola |
Italy, 6th – 10th October 2015
When we travelled down through Italy in April-May, we visited the lakes seeing Lake Garda and Iseo, and weren’t very impressed with them as places to visit in a motorhome when not going on campsites. Only going as far west as Iseo, we left the other lakes to come back to at some point. As we were in the area again, now we’ve spent the past few days around several of the lakes and have been more successful and enjoyed it more this time thanks to the smaller or quieter lakes.

From Venzone to Vicenza

Italy, 2nd – 5th October 2015
It’s been a while since we’ve given a more up to date version of our intended route. We had a fairly concrete plan of the direction we were going to travel in on our way up from Greece (Bulgaria-Romania-Hungary-Croatia-Slovenia), but leaving Slovenia was always the crossroads point where we could have headed in a number of different directions, and so before we left we had to have a sit down and think about where exactly we were going to go.
Ultimately, we knew we wanted to be in Spain and Portugal over the winter. There are a lot of places that we would have liked to visit before then, including heading north-east towards Slovakia and the Czech Republic, or north into Austria and then Switzerland. Unfortunately the former would have sent us too far in the wrong direction, and the latter would have sent us into mountainous Alpine countries a little too close to winter when we have no snow tyres/chains (having spent longer than originally thought in countries from Greece onwards). As a result we’d probably have ended up rushing our way through the places, doing the countries a great disservice and racking up needless miles on the van.
