With only one day in Venice under our belts we felt we had seen enough and decided that today we would head to Lake Garda which had a camp site listed in the cool camping book we had been using called “San Biagio”.
The lake was about 2 hours drive from Venice so we hit the road early (around 10ish) to try get there in decent time so that we had most of the day once we arrived there.
We made decent time until we got to the turn off for the lake and it was jammed with traffic. Every man and his dog was going to the lake it appeared. This added approximately 45 min onto our travel time which meant we did not arrive at the site till about 1pm. Not before the sat nav had sent us down a little and I mean little road, which resulted me in once again curbing the alloys which put me in a bad mood for the rest of the afternoon.
The site itself was lovely. Right on the shores of the lake with its own private island which you can walk out to.
We set up pitch and decided to head to the supermarket as we were low on supplies (beer). After getting a bit lost we eventually found a local lidl and decided that it would be nice to have a braai(bbq). We purchased all the essentials and headed back to the site to chill for the rest of the afternoon in the hammock.
Around 8ish we fired up the bbq and ate like kings while sipping on some local wine. We hit the sack with the sounds of the lake lapping on the shore. This was definitely one of the best sites we have stayed at.
