After breakfast we sent our luggage on ahead to Cannero and spent a bit more time around Stresa. They had their Friday market so we took a wander through and envied all the delicious looking cheeses, cured meats and dried fruits that we couldn't buy. It was quite a large market with bags and shoes everywhere.
After seeing a few more of the sights around the area we had lunch then said our goodbyes to the hotel owners who made it like a home to their guests, then off we set to catch the 3.30pm boat to Cannero which is a little further north on Lake Maggiore.
By 5pm we had arrived at our destination.We had no idea how far we were going to have to walk to the hotel.
After checking out the map on the jetty to work out which direction we should be walking a woman crossed the road to greet us and there before us was our hotel right on the Cannero Riviera.
It all looks very glam however our room is a back standard room with no Lake view and perfectly adequate for us. We still have the use of all the great facilities which is all that matters. I have never sat on such a high toilet, I can actually swing my short legs.
Breakfast and dinner were prepaid here so we had a quiet drink beforehand then went on down to eat at the lakeside verandah which was just divine. Our waiter amused us when we asked if they had any Gewurztraminer and his reply was "Ohhh no no no dat is German don't mention da war" He was quite a character.
It's still very pleasant sitting out until dark. So far the temperatures have been a comfortable 25-26 deg.
