We stayed in Lazise-Colà for 2 nights – it was wonderfully warm (~30°C), breezy and mostly sunny. The 2nd evening provided us with a good view of what looked like a spectacular thunderstorm in the distance.
We got the bikes out and cycled round the lake. A bit. Well, it was hot. We got lost. Call it adventurous, but it seems to happen to us a lot on our bikes: We follow what seems like a sensible, marked trail leading in the right direction. Then there’s a series of junctions with no waymarking.
We make a choice and follow it, and inevitably end up carrying bikes through undergrowth or whatever. This time, we ended up in a vineyard. Fortunately, I spotted a break in the fence between the vineyard and a metalwork shop, and our escape was assured.
There was a path around the lake – more of a footpath – and was sandy & hard going at times. But Garda was as wonderful as I remember it from the past.
