33. Friday 12th August

Great day sadly no photographs, swam in a lake which was behind our camp site in a site in between Lake Garda and Venice! Didn't see Garda though =S Basically a day swimming and sunbathing on a blanket on the grass near the lake!

32. Thursday 11th August Como!

 Lake Como and traveling into Italy-

31. Wednesday 10th August- Chocolate Factory and Italy!

Today we visited a Swiss chocolate factory-

  

 

The tasters! I felt really ill (i made the most of them!)

Also we walked around another lake the once which was linked to Lake Laguno but im not sure if this one was called something else as we were on the Italian side! Yes my first time in Italy! even at the border we noticed the shops and food was ALOT cheaper than Switzerland! Oh and also the campsite we hjave been staying at the last 2 nights and will be staying at tonight is nice in a small town called Celaro 100km away from Milan (Italy) Its very expensive for a camp site 68 Swiss Francs about £62 per night! they are usally half or less than half than that!

The lake in Italy--

30. Tuesday 9th August- Lake Laguno (Switzerland)

A visit to lake Laguno or it might be spelt Lugano not sure! Well i don't even know if it is lake Laguno it is in the town Laguno and its a huge lake which runs between the mountains and the other side is actually in Italy! Its about 30 min away from the camp site. A really great day, went on the pedalos, had food which was very expensive- for example we had 4 ice creams which came to 20 Francs which is about £18, In England it would cost about £6 for 4 ice creams max!

29. Monday 8th August 10am

We are on the road again attempting to get to the south of Switzerland... I will let you know how it goes!

Yes we made it!Its about 9pm and we are in Lugano (well on the outskirts) that's south Switzerland! We are staying here for 3 days which is great as it gives some time to relax and site see! The scenery is great and there is a waterfall behind us (which i don't have a pic of but my dad does so i will hopefully get that soon!)



                        

                        A town we travelled through which contained a lot of typical Swiss houses.



28. Sunday 7th August- Water!

Today consisted of mainly driving we got through Belgium and Luxembourg and back to France (east). We had enough after around 6 hours so we began the hunt for a camp site, which didn't exactly go as planned- streets with one way no entry signs, the SatNav did not take those into consideration also the "extras" button did not work which usually has a list of the closest campsites so we had to use our brain for a change and look for a municipal park and hope there was a camp site near it (as in most towns they usually have municipal campsites in France)

Anyway the lady who managed the site said there was something beautiful happening in the park on that night and she was doing firework motions with her hands but when we arrived on the dot at 10pm it was a water show (not what we expected but it was good) well actually the over heard voice over thing said it was an "aquatic show" . Hundreds of locals turned up to see this show and they had benches around, not much else to say apart from look at the photos and videos---

 

27. Saturday 6th Auguast- Disaster

An absolutely traumatic day and what a start to the holiday! Starting with the first 10 mins on the way to Dover my dad got caught jumping a light (we were in a rush! I know that's not an excuse but I'm not the driver :P) Dad couldn't believe it when they came up behind him, serves him right in a way! Didnt got much better on the motorway either as on the M25- TRAFFIC! We ended up missing the ferry we were supposed to catch at noon and we ended up getting there at 3:30pm and the next ferry was at 4pm (comes every 2 hours) sid have a little luck! Also we didn't have to pay any supplement because we had some excuses up our sleeve, but we were prepared to pay though! So we made it to France, pitched up and slept!
