Italy, here we come! / Bye bye diet! Hello Wiener schnitzel!

Late morning, or was it early afternoon? Anyway, we took off to Italy for a little holiday at Lago di Garda. However, one of the light bulbs of our car karked it and we couldn't get it out. So we went to the dealership, feeling a bit dumb... However, the guy behind the counter couldn't do it either and a mechanic had to be called in and he had to remove the air cleaner to get to the light. Apparently the clamp had broken or got misformed and that's why it wouldn't come out the easy way. So he got that fixed in 15 minutes. As an extra service he checked the oil as well which was good because there was none! He poured in just over a litre. I'm glad he checked!

So after a delay of a few hours we finally hit the road around 14:30. Yeehaw!

Simone drove the car and I ended up reading the map as our navigation gave up after about an hour or so. No worries.

We drove for hours and hours, deep in to Germany.

Around 20:00 we finally stopped for dinner. Dinner with a view.

Bye bye diet! Hello Wiener schnitzel!

That went down incredibly well. After a bit of a rest we drove off again to spend the night in a hotel in a village I can't even remember to be honest...
