Northern Italy - mountains and lakes.

10 April 2016 
We are on our way, with everything working fine! Our first stop is Largo de Iseo. It is smaller than the other lakes in the area but just as pretty. 



We were told that a famous artist (Christo) was constructing a floating walkway on the lake. It is projected that there will be 30-40,000 people walking on this per day within a couple of weeks. And by coincidence we saw part of his construction being towed into place.


The surrounding area is dotted with villiages, obviously very old. 




This is an apple growing area, with hundreds of small farmers all growing apples, resulting in a very large industry for the area. They specialise in Golden And Red Delicious apples.

We finished the day at a mountain pass (Passeo de Mendola), with tantalising distant views of the Dolomites. With tourist season not yet underway we have great places to park/camp.

Today is the day of the Dolomites! And WOW! The pictures will tell the story.






 And here is the Earthcruiser in the Dolomites! And, believe it or not, this is our camping spot for the night! It is a parking lot for a resturaunt which is not yet open for the season. 😌
