An easy train journey to Laveno on the east shore. After lunch and checking in we took the cable car - more a string of two-person buckets - up the local mountain. The descent was quite a scramble to begin with, then steep and rocky, then just steep! Nearly 2 hours descent.
Next day on the ferry to one of the islands with a lovely palazzo beautifully kept especially ceilings and floors. Highlight an amazing collection of puppets. The 8 hectares of gardens would be beautiful in the spring but some majestic trees. A parade of old boats in the harbour after our evening aperitivo finished the day. It's a lovely place in the sun!
Sunday was rain all day so we had a big lunch and did a lot of planning.
Off to Ferrara tomorrow, trying our inter-rail pass.
