Levico Terme





Thursday 26th May

It was lovely to see Lake Garda again for a couple of days, but we are here to find pastures new, so we moved on this morning, travelling north to Trento and then a short way east to Levico Terme on Lake Levico.  This is a really small lake and we are told it can be walked round in 2 hours, so we'll give that a go while we are here.  But not this afternoon - we are getting a bit used to this relaxing idea while the sun is so hot.  It is another busy site, but we found a pitch to one side, next to an open field and we have a lot more space to ourselves than we had at Garda.  We wandered down to the beach (private to the campsite) and were surprised to find so many people there, many of them having fun in the lake - we had a paddle and decided it was a bit too chilly to join them!  But I did try out the swimming pool while John tried out a lounger!

 

Friday 27th May

Another very warm day, so we decided not to do anything too strenuous - just cycled the short way into Levico Terme and have a walk around the town. 
 
Unusually, the clock on the tower was showing the right time!

The town is up on a hill and very quaint, with a lot of the ancient buildings looking a bit tired, but the Parco del Terme is stunningly beautiful.  The park is as large as the town, on the hillside with views of mountains all around.  It's mainly trees - some extremely tall and some rather odd and also some strange features like the building that looked like a house - but it was hollow - and a small garden with amazing vegetables growing behind a hand made fence.

This one was having a bad hair day

The house that isn't a house - note the super fence
Back in the town we had a drink at a cafe and I went inside to use the loo.  Quite unusual to find a 'hole in the floor' type!  Sorry - no photo!
