Hello

Had a lovely morning and lunch at nearby Lake Iseo. Whilst Lake Garda is still relatively quiet, Iseo was like the "Marie Celeste".

I hate to say it but it seems a nicer place than Lake Garda - principally as the mountains are "greener" with vegetation and there is more snow visible on the peaks.

We had lunch in a hotel....

Buffet starter
Plate of hot pasta
Grilled pork steaks
Bread rolls
Choice of sweets
Bottle of mineral water
Bottle of red wine

All for a mere 10 euros! I could only drink a glass of wine due to driving and so they gave the the remainder.

Sadly all the campsites that were visible were closed - even though Easter is fast approaching and so I suspect that all year round motorhoming is a no no.

Photos to the album in due course!

Sounds a super meal Russ - did Oscar enjoy it too Laughing

Like the sound of the scenery - could you park up there, not on a site?

Hello

We were in the car today - so parking OK. Plenty of car parks - no height barriers.

Oscar had some pasta and a bit of pork. He did want the red wine and looked longingly at it.

Ah, bless her.

The lunch menu is available in many restaurants and hotels and is called a "Pranzo di lavori" - working lunch - most restaurants around Garda charge between 10 and 12 euros. I only expected a glass of wine though - not a bottle.

There is a pic of Oscar taken today on page four of our photos.

Or here directly...

I think that Jabu and Oscar are amongst the most pampered pooches in Europe!

Sue

He does look good on the photo - even though only taken with the phone cam. His coat always goes lighter in the sun, plus with loosing some of his winter coat, that makes a difference.

All he needs now is an Italian Weimaraner to play with. We have met one, but in true style, he mounted her and we haven't seen her since!
