Bolsena.
It’s only possible to do anything physical in the cool (25oC) of the morning so were off at 7am.
A lovely easy trip and arrive at our lakeside site by 10.30am. There are several lakes in the area, formed in the craters of extinct volcanoes and Largo de Bolsena is the largest. It’s a tiny site with deep shade and a view over the lake. Run by two diminutive sisters who are friendly but volatile, Classic Italian temperament.
Its just as hot as Rome but the large expanse of water creates wonderful refreshing breezes and the lake is free from the pesky Mozzies that plagued us in Rome.
At last we can sit out in the evenings and enjoy the cooling airs.
Set up camp under the trees and jump in the lake for a swim.
Bolsena is home to the famous EST EST EST vino and at 2.80euro a bottle a delectable snip.
This part of northern Lazzio is located right on the border with Perugia so were basing ourselves here to explore the region.

Let me in the water.
My gal, sitting forlornly by the water, dreaming of the solent and her wacky walks with Gascoigne! Wondering to herself if it is possible to pack up her hanky and set of for the Channel on foot! A dog can only take so much heat!
