Today we rode from Peschiera to the spit of land that juts into Lake Garda on the southern end. At the end of the point there is the town of Sirmione where you find a large area of spectacular Roman ruins called grotta di catullo as well as a 13th century castle. It’s also a place overrun with tourists (including us) and especially today as there was a triathlon going on. It was another blistering hot day (glad we were not part of the race) that ended with thunderstorms but we made it back to the hotel before it started.
The hotel we are staying in is more of a restaurant really with 5 rooms upstairs that they let. We had both of our evening meals there because the food was quite good and not full of tourists but locals. That’s usually a good sign.
Looking back to the main land from Sirmione
It's bloody hot especially in the Castello
Swallowtail ramparts are a stylish touch to the castello
The smart ones were out in the water today
Great little restaurant and staff with a few rooms; ideal place for us
