Lago di Garda, Italia

ITALY
27th May - 3rd June 2012

We drove over the "Ofenpass" to Lago di Garda in Italy on Sunday and had some stops along the way together with Alex, Amba and Robin. We were able to stay at Patrick & Karin and Remo & Heidi's place in Bolognano. Timea and Carmen came a day later as they drove by bicycle!
We had some wonderful days at the "Conca" - a dream spot for all windsurfers and for others great to relax! Of course the food in Italy was great, but we also did several nice walks and Carmen and I went on a fantastic cycling trip to Pregasina. Something that will stay with us our whole life is the earthquake that we experienced on Monday 28th May at 9am. We were all still laying in bed (yes, semi-retired :) ) when the bed started shaking and the ceiling lamp was swinging. It took several seconds to realise what was happening, and then it was over again. Sadly in the centre of the earthquake there were several casualties and many people lost their home - this was 200km away from where we were.
