We (my Mum and I) are in Stresa, on Lake Maggiore. When we landed last night, it was overcast but ok. By the time we'd got our luggage and reached the car, it was thundering, lightning and the rain was of epic proportions. We woke this morning to a grey and miserable looking day but decided to make the best of it and head on out nevertheless.

Let's hope the weather improves during the next couple of days - but sadly the forecast isn't so promising.
