Heading north.

Last night's stay in Osteria dei Segretii was just right, a well appointed room with an eiderdown - I haven't seen one for years. The meal, wine and beer in a relaxed atmosphere also helped and everyone else there was Italian. The prices weren't silly and the only downside was all the noise as they sorted out the restaurant at the end of the night but I was distracted by a Harlan Coben book I had started which I managed to put down at 1am. The started of today's journey was perfect, cool sunny conditions after last nights rain but then I hit the coast - 11 miles on two hours, not funny. I arrived up in Garda at fourish and found that now we are in season I will have to pay for parking, damn. The advantage of it being in season is there is more opportunity for people watching so that was a nice couple of Nastro Azzuros by the way I can recommend last nights tipple, Menabrea. I booked into the same hotel that I stayed in two years ago here in Garda because they posted my Kindle back to me after I had left it on my room, in my mind it was a sort of repayment for their kindness but I shouldn't have bothered they don't remember me at all. Very deflating to the ego. My afternoon aperitif was taken in a cafe which has live music tonight so here's hoping. Long day tomorrow, Munich via the Stelvio Pass if it is open.
