Our morning of go slow dragged on into the afternoon as we got right
into holiday mode. Brilliant!!!
In saying that, we did get the gazebo up to give us some much needed
shade, plus the front driver's speaker now works after a bit of
tinkering. Unfortunately I still can't work out why the leisure
battery is not charging off the main battery when the van is going??
We are coping with the help of the jumper leads, but the challenge is
still there to find the problem and fix it without the help of a
professional!! Don't worry to anyone interested in buying the van - I
will admit defeat and get it fixed properly before we flog it off to
you.
By mid afternoon we finally got ourselves into gear and took a walk
down into Bellagio. If you imagine Lake Como as a man with no arms -
Bellagio sits right in the groin area. This giving fine views across
to both opposite sides of the lake. A summer residence for Roman
leaders and then Lombardy's (the local province) noble families - you
really do get the feeling of ancient grandeur as you stroll around
past old villas, gardens, narrow pedestrian streets and outdoor cafes
lining the shoreline.
Once we had checked out a few of the shops (or at least the girls
did), we found a little swimming spot to cool off a bit, while Robyn
enjoyed a glass of wine in what had become a very hot day.
The only trouble with camping up above the town of Bellagio, is that
we had to walk back up the hill - this was after checking out the bus
timetable, thinking we had missed the bus by 5 minutes, then once
walking the bus roars past us!! Oh well - the walk wasn't that bad
:-)
