Day 38: 18th August (Italy)
Left Aprica and drove through mountains towards Colico on the north shore of Lake Como. Drove down the west side of Lake Como - the scenery was amazing with mountains meeting lakes and blue/green water. The road was very busy and narrow so there were some hair raising encounters with buses/motorbikes and many near misses! Got to ferry at Lavenno-Mobello with 3 mins to spare and they still got us on the boat to cross to the other side of Lake Maggiore. Then we drove up the west side of Lake Maggiore to Cannero-Rivierra to meet the Mills and Roses. Lovely campsite with  a promenade and beach all the way to the little town. All jumped in the lake for a swim. Had tea with the Mills/Roses. Kids playing on paddle boards, jumping off the jetty, played volleyball. Lush.

Day in Cannero Riviera- kids jumped in the lake from the rocks. Paddle boarding. Picnic on the lawn area. Mills and Rose set up their hammocks. After lunch hired a duck boat and messed about on the lake for an hour. went for ice cream at the gelateria. Walked into the little town along the promenade in the evening and had dinner - got fleeced by the waitress when she asked the kids if they wanted pudding. Had my first Hugo Spritz earlier that day.
