Great Escape


So we are off back up north, the heat and intimidation of Northern Italy too much for us softies, and we are soon back in more comfortable territory. We check out the weather across Europe, and given that we are struggling with the 34 deg C in Italy, the 36 deg C in Croatia is one step too far. Unfortunately in some ways we decide to abandon Croatia for a cooler time of the year, and decide that heading up through Switzerland and Austria is the better part of valour.
Before long we pass Como and head up the winding valleys, stopping for a really nice lunch a few hundred yards from the swiss border where amongst other things we see the biggest spider web I have seen. A rough estimate put it at 3m in diameter!
