Sat 28 Sep
Getting to sleep in to the relatively late time of 0730 was great. Following a luxuriously slow breakfast, we headed out in the rain to the buses towards Sirmione. Wondering around the town, we bought souvenirs, got more vouchers, more noms and more gelato. Despite the rain, the walk down to the beach made for some great photos.
Following lunch back at the village, we were told that due to the rain, they could not hold the closing ceremony outside in Sirmione (as originally planned) but instead we crammed into a small local hall. The band that played were amazing. After receiving medals, and the guides' spontaneous singing of the (Italian) national anthem we ran in the rain to queue up for more buses, eventually heading back to the village for the farewell dinner, followed by playing cards late into the night with the Brits and the Kiwis.
