Easter Weekend — Lago Maggiore

We headed south over the border to the Italian Lakes for a mini breakaway for Easter (Thursday to Sunday). Stayed at Cannero in the same hotel we visited when Beathan was one-and-a-wee-bit and we'd only just landed in Switzerland (I'll dig out a picture!).  Cannero is a lovely old town with harbours (one ancient and one more ritzy), winding backstreets and a little pebble beach and Lido. Nothing much more to do beyond take in the lovely surroundings, drink (guzzle?) Processo, and amble from pizza restaurant to pizza restaurant. We took a row boat out a couple of times to get out to the little islands in the middle of the lake — highlight for the kids. No motor boat this time. . . . we took it slow! Blessed with mainly good weather, although the hotel pool and lake was still much too cold for anything more than toes!

Kids couldn't wait to dip their toes
in the hotel pool when we arrived- but mighty cold!!
