Only a couple of days to go before we leave. Sad L
Swam in the lake in the morning, and played swimming teachers for Jess. She still doesn’t look very happy, but she does go into the water more easily than she did.
Lunchtime fizzy cocktails were round ours, and we’d left the Prosecco in the freezer all morning, so they were delightfully cold.
The afternoon was spent sitting around reading, before going to the restaurant Gallo Rosso in Salo which, although it has no Michelin stars, is mentioned in the guide. Of course, since we were in Salo, we needed to check that the Pirlots at Bar Vassilli were still nice, and we had pre-dinner snacks of vol-au-vonts, crisps, olives, capers on stalks, pickled peppers and gherkins.
The food at the elegant Gallo Rosso was beautiful, with immaculate flavours, and we had four courses, with two bottles of wine and water, all for €35 each.
When we got back to camp, we had to try Ed’s Limoncello, which was a lemon-y liqueur.
