Off to the Ferry

Last view of our hotel in Lake Garda
Sorry that the sun was not shining
Home soon

Today the Queen becomes the longest serving Monarch

A great picture, I think

We took the ferry to Sirmione del Garda
and found this on one of the beaches.
Needed Googling
The dream installations were originally the work of Yoko Ono back in 2008, all over Italy.
This year it is back in the beach as part of the Fondazione Bonotto Foundation from Venice.
Quote:-
With the DREAM project a word became a manifesto.
A single word to sum up complexity, an uncertain future, a crisis, values.
Too much information methinks

Italy - Lake Garda

Stalls dedicated to the sale of Lake Garda Lavender

Well, you did say a BIG beer !
But one litre .......

Meanwhile Lachlan had his 11th Birthday on August 27th

They celebrated at Disneyland Paris

Austin on the way home

Switzerland

We don't normally enjoy the drive through Switzerland

Road works, road works & road works

And the scenery not what I expected

BUT ....

This time we went over the Gottard Pass instead of through the ghastly tunnel

The top of the pass
There was a disproportionate number of motor bikes and sports cars enjoying the windy road

The top was like another world
Flat with rocky crags and dotted with pools and small lakes

Just as we began to descend we stopped at a little cafe with a spectacular view

The sound of the cow bells below was so loud

A view of the road to come

We're off. France ....

Calais & the new double, razor wired fence is much in evidence. 

First stop Ibis in Reims

Early morning windscreen cleaning

And in no time it is a sundowner at Captain's Hotel in Blotzheim
