Our parkup in Grado provided a very restful night's sleep after the tourist boats finished sailing around the island. We were joined by just two other motorhomes for the night.
We decided our quest to find something approaching warmth would take us further west to the pretty little medieval town of Borghetto about 10 miles south of Pescheira del Garda.
It sits on the border between the Veneto and Lombardy regions which the river Mincio divides.
The river also gives the town its unique character and was probably vital in the towns formation in medieval times.
There are lots of water wheels in the town, some operational and some not.
We came here a few years ago and enjoyed the spectacular scenery.
The weather apps also tell us it'll be warmer and sunnier than anything we've found in Croatia so far.
The weather really does seem to be throwing up some very unusual temperatures and storms, I've just been reading about central and eastern Europe where there have been many deaths due to flooding in Austria I think.
So I shouldn't really complain about our little bit of inconvenience.
We did indeed find the sun and warmth in Borghetto and had a walk around the busy little village.
It is a very popular place for tourists and the restaurants were doing a brisk trade.
But we had chicken supreme with wild rice, carrots and broccoli cooked 'en van' very nice it was too.
