We drove from Cinque Terre to Lake Maggiore, Italy today. It was a fairly easy 4 hour drive. I think we spent half of the time in tunnels. The scenery is really pretty driving but you really can’t see that much when driving through the mountains because you are in tunnels for so long. Lake Maggiore is the second largest lake in Italy with the northern tip of the lake actually in Switzerland. We are staying pretty close to the border. We aren’t allowed to drive into Switzerland because of our rental car so we won’t be going to see any of the towns in the north part of the lake. The pace is definitely slower at this lake and there are a lot of campgrounds. We actually ate dinner in the middle of a campground at a pizzeria. It is a nice way to end the trip with a little slower pace. The town is small and almost everyone speaks German. It is challenging whether or not to order in Italian, German or English.
