Twenty-two days of one journey. Day Twentieth
Starthere >>>
We are moving north, to one of the large lakes - Como, but we will not reach it, but will stop for a couple of hours at the small lake Annone (Lago di Annone).
Once I made a route through the north of Italy with a visit to five lakes - Maggiore, Lugano with a visit to Switzerland, Como, Iseo and Garda and five cities - Turin, Bergamo, Brescia, Verona and Padua. It’s impossible to carve out a few days for all this, but it’s good that Stefania is going to the country - there is a reason to look at a couple of lakes.
Now about our acquaintances whom we met eight years ago in Turkey. They have two higher educations - Bologna and Barcelona - mathematics, biology and microbiology. Now both teach at the University of Girona, publish a journal on the problems of the ecology of the Mediterranean Sea,
they combine their holidays with scientific activities - they explore the reservoirs of Europe, Asia and Africa. Today they are returning from Tanzania. Taking water samples from the lake. Tanganyika and lake. Victoria, tomorrow they are going to Spain to their laboratory (we found out about this at the meeting). They are of the usual orientation, they know five languages, they have families. We bring them Tuscan wine, farmer's prosciutto, a bottle of Ukrainian cognac and a colorful avenue about Kyiv.
Arrived, immediately found a free parking lot:
Walked to the center of the town. . .
. . . then go to the specified address.
We took some photos:
The automatic gates opened - Stephanie called to the house. I didn't ask permission to take a photo, so I can't post her photo here. A dark-skinned Italian after a month at the equator looks gorgeous, invisible at night. Presented gifts, I demanded to come to Kyiv, opened "Chianti", the girls drank a glass, I licked my lips. They remembered how they were loaded with Turkish wine in Cirali, told about our trip to Italy, deserved praise for my Italian. The dacha is good, two-story, with a view of a million euros, it costs the same.
Stefania and Giulia have explored the beach and the water at Rosignano Solvay, thanks to them the Italian government is taking action to clean up the beach and prevent the plant's waste from being dumped into the sea.
A good man lives next to his wife, an actor, composer and singer, his name is Adriano Celentano.
Here is the fence around his estate:
Stainless, irresistible. The panorama that we see in the photo is also seen by him. And there, in the distance, on the shore of the lake. . .
. . . the scene was filmed when Celentano threw the car keys into the water, and Ornella Muti was looking for them - "The Taming of the Shrew".
Given that people had just arrived after a long flight, we began to say goodbye, demanding each other to visit either Italy or Ukraine.
We might not have ended up in Galbiate if the meeting had taken place in Milan and I wouldn't have been hit on the top of my head with this bump. . .
. . . arrived on an incredible trajectory from a height of 20-25 m.
The blow was quite strong, I thought,
that someone threw it. And who could it be, except for Adriano, because a bump flew in from his territory. In any case, I am glad that I was awarded attention, and that one more exhibit of flora has replenished the collection.
We decided to ride along Lake Como, I really wanted to visit the owner of this one:
But my wife dissuaded us, and we went to the east coast, where we didn’t get there either, but went to Bergamo. . .
. . . Brescia to Lake Garda to swim, admire and decide how to go further - to Austria through Trento, Bolzano or to it, but past Venice and Udine.
I wanted to ride to Gargnano (Gargnano), visiting Gardone Riviera (Gardone Riviera) and a couple of towns along the way. But time was running out, it was impossible to spend the night on the lake - we stopped in the first town with the appetizing name Salo (Salo).
Air - 25 degrees, water - 22 (perfect for me). Given the cleanliness, air, nature and beauty, there is only one conclusion: these are the best places for a beach holiday in Italy in summer.
And the overnight stay will be near Venice, we will go to Marghera, to the same motel.
There was no room at the motel, so I had to drive up to the fallback hotel Nuova Aurora", 50 euros with breakfast, with free guarded parking. For visiting Venice, it is conveniently located, the bus is a hundred meters away.
But there is no toilet in the rooms, it is shared by several rooms on the floor. Breakfast is not recommended.
Probably, it would be right to post reviews on TurPravda about all the hotels we visited in Austria, Slovakia and Italy - this way it is easier to find them, following in the footsteps.
