#LagoDiGarda, day 15

* hike/walk along the Sirmione peninsula, pretty but absolutely overrun (even more so given that this is Pentecoast weekend); still some 20000 steps and th vivo trail runners rock for simple hikes
* too hot to do more, so we got some late lunch and plopped down under some trees with books
* pizza for dinner (for me: white with gorgonzola, pears and walnuts)
* packing & a night snack or cherries

And that's it, today I'm going on to Madrid for work...

#LagoDiGarda, day 14

* Cascate di Molina hike - very pretty, but alsp very hot even though it was mostly under the trees
* tadpoles and salamander youth!
* small oil museum + tasting
* it's really hard to find a shadowy place to spend time at the Lake, grmpf...
* ended up returning to the same location as last time, still lots of baby ducks and a beautiful sunset
* supermarket lunch & dinner
* packing for Madrid (made worse by heat wave and me having torn my linen culottes...)

#LagoDiGarda, day 13

* off hate filled start https://mastodon.social/@vicgrinberg/116617081340814244 , but it got better
* up to Monte baldo (via the cable car), partner flew down, I took the cable car again
* stroll through the extremely cute Malcesine with another pasticceria meal (I'm not ashamed!) and sitting on the lake
* got stamps, wrote artsy postcards: https://mastodon.social/@vicgrinberg/116618105282400999
* off to next accommodation and then to spend the evening at the lake, watching baby birds and the sunset: https://mastodon.social/@vicgrinberg/116619599243080751

Sunset at Lake Garda.

Sometimes life does look like a watercolour painting...

* sightseeing in a pretty village
* stumbled, torn favorite summer pants 😢
* ordered moar art supplies (paper, brown fineliners to try as an alternative to black)
