On the lakes of Europe in July 2017. Part 3

I'll continue to describe my trip on the lakes in July 2017.

Day 9, Sunday
I moved to Italy. There was a surprisingly large number of bikers, whether it was because of Sunday, or there was a rally somewhere, and then there were a lot of them in France near the lake. Before leaving France for Italy I traveled through the tunnel 6.5 km, there was even a queue at the entrance. They accepted a payment of 28 euros (for a motorcycle) and each instructed how to go. The speed was to be kept from 50 to 70 and not to reduce the distance to the previous car.
Immediately after leaving the tunnel there was a border with Italy.

There was a great amount of tunnels in Italy, again (several are at least 3 km in length), then traveled along the plain to Milan and turned north towards Lake Como. I didn't pay separately for the tunnels, but it took me 24 euros for the highway to Milan. My town was in the upper part of the lake, the road along the lake again went through almost continuous tunnels. At 3 p.m. the navigator brought me to the right address. Exactly, there's my hotel.
I changed clothes and went on the beach, there was a strong wind and therefore not very hot. The beach here is simple, grass with pebbles, a lot of people.

There was a number of kiteboarders, I counted at least 20 kites on the water and the rest was on the beach.

The wind was like in Dahab. There were also windsurfers, but a few. I swam, sunbathed, walked along the quay, and had a bite in the hotel.

Day 10
It was the shortest ride, 250 km to the town of Brenzone on Lake Garda.
I left Colico at 10 a.m., it was cloudy, but warm. I counted 15 tunnels on my way, then the navigator dragged me through some small towns. But, after all, I got on the highway to Venice, it was an hour of joy and again small towns, but along Lake Garda.

I reached the hotel at about 1.40 p.m., the lake was across the road.

I immediately went swimming. The beach was with pebble, the water was warm and clear as the sea.

A pleasant lake, better than Como. There was the road along the lake, and a lot of hotels near it.

In general, it was a standard resort day.

I ate pizza, I do not really like it, but it's hard to find something else. I had a balcony with a view of the lake, you just had to sit and admire.

The Italians are a curious people. Just imagine. I was sitting in my room and suddenly I heard the signal, my alarm signal. Someone climbed under the tent of a motorcycle at night, but didn't find anything interesting there as I put a lock with a signal on the wheel. I went out to the bike, and beside it there were two cooks from the restaurant of my hotel. Probably, they wanted to see what was under the tent.... But the alarm scared them off...)

To be continued....
