Hotel and location: The Hotel BLU Lake Sirmione is situated in a privileged location in Sirmione, within walking distance of one of the most beautiful places on Lake Garda. It is a well-equipped hotel of the upper middle class, which has nicely renovated rooms with balcony. Many of the rooms are located on the lake side and when the blue of the lake shimmers through between the palm trees it is truly idyll. Breakfast included in the price is offered in buffet form, very lovingly prepared and with everything you could wish for. Also the service was all around friendly and helpful. On the rooftop is the pool with several small terraces for relaxing and sunbathing. And above all with a spectacular all-round view over the town and Lake Garda. Fantastic to relax here after an eventful cycling day at sunset! The BLU Lake Hotel has an underground car park (18,- € per day), which is urgently needed when arriving by car, as you are not allowed to park anywhere else in the town. The bicycles are also safely parked here. Only a few steps across the road runs the beautifully landscaped promenade along the lake. Here you like to linger with a delicious cappucino or a crispy pizza. Always along the lake, you will reach the historical centre of Sirmione, famous for its unique ice cream. Many cafés and restaurants invite you to linger, there is even a beach section and there are beautiful boat tours around the peninsula.

Arrival Dresden 05. 09. 2020 After seeing a nature film about Lusatia, we decided to spontaneously, to book the trip “In the Land of Saxons and Sorbs” to explore this beautiful landscape more closely. On the day of arrival we had enough time for a stroll through Dresden: Zwinger and Frauenkirche are just two of the many sights that you should definitely visit. At 4:00 p. m. Hans welcomed us for an information meeting in the Hotel “Maritim. ” Hans explains the individual routes and sights in detail, so that everyone is looking forward to the first day of cycling.

I was particularly looking forward to my bike and boat trip with the Mare fan Fryslân at the beginning of July – finally going back on the road, enjoying the freedom to travel and after turbulent weeks in the office enjoying a nice break with bike and boat. I was happy to summarize my experiences during the eight days on board and on the bike:
