After a couple of nights in the beautiful wine district we drove up to northern Italy and the lakes. We got to Lake Maggiore in the late afternoon on a Saturday and it turned out to be nearly impossible to find a place to stay. After the tourist office had helped us and called to about 20 places he found a hotel for us. The rooms where very average and all we could see from the window was the wall of another hotel.
I can't remember the name of the town we stayed in but even though it was nothing like the previous places, we had a great night. Adam and I had dinner just the two of us and when we left the hotel to find a restaurant it started bucketing with rain and we experienced one of the worst thunder stoms I have ever seen. The lighting struck a building next to us and the loud noise made us throw ourselves inside a restaurant we were walking past. Quite scary. After a running race in the rain we found a cosy pizza place and had a really nice dinner.
