My holidays on Trasimeno lake in Umbria, Italy
After the beautiful and expensive trip to the U.S., had decided to stand still at home for a bit 'of time, but how it's done? accomplices cousins Tina, that their poor, and must still work to do the holidays until August, we were forced, against our (so to speak), reaching Lake Trasimeno Castiglione del Lago
Fixed Camp Lystra (Street Promenade) Castiglione, nice, the lake, fly in the ointment: services left a bit 'to be desired, but at 12 euros per day in August, you can not expect more'. Wishing there was a rest area for campers free, always on the lake, near the pier, very beautiful, very green with trees but devoid of any service, not far from one fountain for water supply but no drain.
During the week a friend of his cousin Max accompanied us, making us as guide, to visit the Doge's Palace or even said "the Corgna, every room is frescoed with paintings of merit, after a narrow walkway along the walls you can visit medieval fortress at the center are the remains of a small Byzantine church.
Lunch all together in a small restaurant with tables on the street in an alley of downtown, ate well and spent the right.
Another important day was the boat trip on the lake, leaving from Castiglione nautical center, with two inflatable boats similar to but much more 'comfortable, the departure was delayed by bad weather, the wind had ruffled the water and made little secure the release of the vessel, the wind calmed down to part time Polvese island where, after landing, we visited the Park-scientific-didactic as well as performing his teaching, can accommodate several students at a center stays with accommodation and restaurant. Also on the island there is a castle, ruined but still impressive walls. Coming back we saw a magnificent sunset view of Castiglione, his castle silhouetted in the red sky was spectacular.
It 'was a small but very nice holiday and thanks go to cousins Hugh and Emilia, Massimo and Laura Chick and dynamic grandmother, who hosted us and made the stay more' happy.
