We had not been to the Italian lake country in a long time, and, with the lakes relatively close to Milan, we thought we'd spend a few leisurely days at Lake Maggiore.

So there we are, on the shore of Lago Maggiore, at Camping Solcio |

Closer up |

Curious neighbor |
|
On an administrative day, a walk to nearby Lesa, on the lake; the lake climate
renders the whole place a botanical garden, where pretty much anything can
grow; the azaleas, the bougainvilleas, the camellias, the rhodos, the hydrangeas,
the wisteria...everything was going strong |
|
More walking around in Stresa, 5 miles up the lake, next day |
|
Classic old resort town |
|
With a fixer-upper here and there |
|
Reminder of Italy's grim role in WWI |

One of several beautiful 19th century hotels |

Set up for the day's wedding |
