Sure, Lake Garda is beautiful, but Lago d'Iseo is almost even more beautiful! We drove there in the evening to find a campsite (which there are plenty around the lake), but they were all full!

The first night was in a car park, and the second night was incredibly beautiful right on the lake.

In any case, we've had a good time and are enjoying some relaxed "alone time".

We are still at Piantelle camping on Lake Garda. So it's sun and bathing in Italy. The climate feels like Asia; humid heat and a temperature that is constantly above 30 degrees. Sometimes there is a heavy rain shower, but after a while it is over. And the heat is still just as compact...
