Well the holiday to Lake Garda was great except for the weather ! The first day we drove down and then had a swim in the afternoon. That evening we had the biggest thunder and lightening storm out which was really cool except for the rain on the top of the van woke Charly up so the wine drinking and olive eating under the rain/sun sail was interrupted numerous times - oh well. We strung the rain/sun sail up between two trees and the van which proved to work pretty well actually.
The next day was overcast so we checked out a nearby village for lunch and a huge ice cream. The day after it poured with rain all day and so we took a ferry trip with the van over the lake to the town of Garda. Kitted the kids out with umbrellas and basically let them go wild in the puddles which was a laugh.
It basically rained every evening and one night we sat ourselves under the neighbour's awning as they had left - good idea ! The last night it rained so much that it started dripping through the sail and our sitting area began to shrink drastically. The last day though was a good one and we were able to swim all day - a positive ending.
The kids had a good time - there were a few squabbles but nothing too serious. Niklas, Marie and Lily are used to having each other around but for Charly it was something new having 3 other kids 24/7.
Love and kisses - Lara, Mike & Charly xxxooo
