Isola Bella

Having to leave the Hotel at 7:45 am this morning, no one appreciated the fact the breakfast room was late opening and the food was gone within minutes. Heading towards Milan, we hit heavy rain about an hour out of Venice.  Then there was a problem with the bus, so we had to pull over and wait for a mechanic to arrive. The problem fixed, we continued towards Stressa on Lake Maggiore. Here we visited the Island of Isola Bella with the Borromea Palace and the lovely gardens. Rain continued whilst we were here so we did end up getting a wee bit wet. From here we travelled on towards Zermatt, Switzerland, reaching the lofty Simplon Pass with its highest point at 2005 Metres as we passed more incredible scenery. When we reached Tasch, Switzerland, we caught a train up to Zermatt where we stayed for the night in a typical Swiss Chalet type Hotel, sloping floor and all.
