Home sweet home...
We arrived home a few days ago after deciding that a business opportunity I had was more important than the extra three weeks touring Europe! Its a shame but we are actually enjoying trying summer at home and finding lots to keep us occupied :-)

Locarno trip via Maggiore Ferry
Today we took the camping bus to the ferry pier and boarded the free shuttle boat to Locarno pier. We spent a couple of hours wandering around the very trendy streets and found a great pizza restaurant alongside the square that was hosting the Locarno Film Festival. Later we took the funicular railway to viewing platform high above Lake Maggiore.

Locarno pool complex Lake Maggiore Switzerland
Ok time moves on and so do we. The boys where way to hot in the 35c heat of the Viareggio coast and the sea was filthy and unsuitable for safe swimming! We hit the road last night and arrived at our favourite aire in Locarno Marina on lake Maggiore just inside Switzerland at about 10pm. Its raining but warm 27c and sun is forecast for a week. Later we will move to one of the best camp sites in Europe "Campo Felice" on the shores of the lake with stunning mountain views. More pictures above.

Heiterwang See in Tyrol
We are staying at Hotel Fischer Am See in Heiterwang/Tyrol www.fischeramsee.at having moved from the Tiroler Zugspitze Hotel & resort www.zugspitze-resort.at.
The scenery here by the lake is absolutely stunning and it is so peaceful you really feel away from it all. We have just returned from a two hour pleasure cruise the entire length of both lakes taking in a stunning mountain Valley and water as blue as a coral reef in places.
More pictures soon:
