6th May - Iseo

6th May

Still in Iseo.....

The rain stayed off for about 4 hours and then started up again. I think wse've had about 3 full days of rain when it's all added up. Anyway, I used the time to get all my washing done, although the machine was crap - no hot water in the tank and it doesn't spin dry anything, so I had to wring everything out by hand first. It all took ages to dry as it wasn't very warm and there was still a lot of water in the clothes.

I went in to Iseo a few times over the weekend, and it's a busy enough wee place when the weather's ok. Sunday saw the weather finally pick up properly and it was nice- warm and sunny. I really should have taken a trip on the boat that runs up and down the lake serving all the small towns, but I dunno, I really still wasn't feeling on great form, so I didn't bother.




Not an awful lot more to add to this entry really. It's been 3 days of sitting around and waiting for the weather to sort itself out and also let my cold run it's course. Tomorrow, I'm going to head for the city of Bergamo, north east of Milan and try to find the camper stop there, and if it's ok, I'll park up and head into the city and kill some time until Bruce arrives as his flight doesn't come in until midnight.


I did manage to catch some British TV on the campsite in Iseo as firstly I had it tuned to Astra 1 which has BBC prime, so I caught up on Eastenders and a few other half decent programmes, then I fiddled around and managed to pick up Astra 2, but the signal was too weak to get BBC and ITV, so I had to make do with a few TV movie channels and the news, but hey, any English language programming out here is a plus, trust me!
