Jet lag has really turned into an issue for me. A few years ago, I decided to take the Bernini Train Tour from Milan to St. Moritz. Unfortunately, the date I picked was the day after I’d landed in Italy. Everything went well until lunchtime. For some reason I don’t remember I decided to take a stroll solo after lunch. I was sure I could make it back to the restaurant with no problem.
Needless to say, I couldn’t find my way back. So I told myself to go to the train station and just get on the train. But (this being Italy) there were two train stations. Naturally, I found the wrong one!
Everything ended happily, but I didn’t have the pleasure of seeing San Moritz. From then on, I decided to find a safe place to park myself for a few days while I got over my jet lag.
This year, I decided to stay in Nago at the northern tip of Lake Garda. I knew it would be quiet, and would be near the Alps, but had no idea how magnificent those views would be.
I was so lucky in my choice of hotel. The Garda Hotel Forte Charme in Nago tells its visitors that it have the best views of Lake Garda. Which is quite true. And if you ask for an upgrade, you might even get the best view of the lake!
On my second night here I (of course) was suffering from a bout of insomnia, so I got up and peeked through my window. What I saw caused me to grab my iPhone and take pictures. The result is the image I’m sharing with you here ~ Dawn over Lake Garda, with the moon shining on the lake.
The staff here couldn’t have been nicer. I spent a couple of days touring the lake by ferry and speed boat, and a couple of days resting up (I have strained my knee) and making use of their sauna.
Now that I have got over my jet lag, I will be leaving tomorrow for Stresa, a bustling town on the southern tip of Lake Maggiore.
Stay tuned for my adventures there!
