Europe trip part 24

Saturday 21 September

 Today we are packing again for the 11th time – 13 more to go. Before leaving we felt sorry for the cats so mum opened a tin of tuna and fed them that which they loved! We drove to Lake Maggiore which took us about 4 hours.

On the way we stopped at a nice service station for lunch. Mam was in a panic as we never got a toll ticket leaving Sestri Levante because it was not working. All main roads in Italy operate a toll systems so she wasn’t sure how to exit the motorway later on. Luckily a nice man helped us out at Arona, before driving up the lake side.

 It was a lovely drive around the lake. Stresa is the main town and it looked really pretty. Our house was very nice, it had a spectacular view over the lake but the driveway was very tight and we had to do the “dance of death”!

Every time we came home dad had to get out and stand on the corner whilst mum turned the car around in an another drive way. She had to wait for dad’s signal before crossing the blind corner and entering our drive which was quite scary!!

 Today we had a chill morning. We watched Scotland v Ireland which was very disappointing because Scotland got smashed 27 - 3 at the Rugby World Cup. After lunch we drove to Stresa, we looked around and did some shopping. There were lots of Gelato shops so we had to try them. When we got back home, we ate dinner and watched a movie that grandpa liked about a famous football manager called Bobby Robson.
