Bonjourno!


Im back from a week of relaxation on the shores of Lake Maggiore, above. As may be expected from a week in such a picturesque location, i managed to take a fair few pictures, which made the task of selecting one for here very hard.
The picture shows 2 of the 3 Borromean Islands in lake Maggiore, and the resort I was stayin at Baveno, to the far left. The nearest is beautiful isle, containing an impressive palace and gardens built in the 15th century, and then the "fishermans island", or Isola Superiore, population of around 200. Also note one of the boats of the state run "navigazione di maggiore", which ply the lake continously during the day with an interestingly varied range of vessels.
