Day 8

Baveno, Lake Maggiore (Italy)

0 miles.

Wandered around the local town this morning to get our bearings and do a bit of food shopping. Weirdly the cafe bar sells London Pride on tap - at home we live within a mile of where it is brewed - the waiter found it highly amusing to bring us a beer mat with our coffee.

Swam, read and generally realxed this afternoon and later, sadly witnessed the disappointment of Italy lose in spectacular fashion to Spain in the finals. The local folk sensibly buggered off for dinner at half time seemed to take it well though.
