Departed Dublin around 07:30, first stop Italy for the wedding. Arrived in Malcesine for lunch. Checked into hotel Alpino, a great little spot, right in the centre of the town, chilled for a while then caught up with friends who were already settled in. <br>Weather was a bit of a mixed bag, but we still had enough sunshine to make the most of our time. We got the ferry across Lake Garda to visit Limone for the amazing invisible market and ...

... boys, which was definitely nott fun. They were annoying and we really didnt have any idea of what we were doing. I was glad we only had to do it once. Lately we've been spending time in the kitchen helping out. Yesterday we made pizza and little pizza bites and today we helped make pasta and sauces. It was a long process but it was cool to sit down and eat something i just helped make. Today we also went to a meat butcher.. we had to wear hair nets, shoe covers and a ...

... few days flew by because we knew that we would have to leave soon. Tuesday arrived which was our last day at the hotel in Dei Normanni. We had class at 9:30 am but it was cut short because it was our last day. After class was when the goodbyes started. We had to say goodbye to Giuseppe and the chef Vincenzo right before our Italian class. During Italian class we were all starting to cry. Our Italian teacher, one of our favorite people here told us ...

... on the side of the hill in this ancient town. All their food is locally grown and just great. I was full by the time we had finished the appetizer and next course-and much food still to come. The main course gave us each another full individual dish, plus many dishes to share. And then huge dessert! What a meal! And so interesting to be seated with 6 Italians that all tried to out-talk each other and in Italian. Carol and I just sat there with awe and ...

... mile to their home. I would guess we have walked about 2 miles today! After 7 we headed out to their house---and got lost. Not too bad though-just missed seeing the house though we had taken the correct side road. Called and she ran out and met us. They had dinner ready- fresh minestrone soup, chicken with spaghetti sauce, bread and some delicious potatoes, then some baked peaches with a chocolate on the top-very good. After dinner we a ...

... this morning. We will do that tomorrow. Now we are dressing to go out to dinner with them again. They will not let us pay for anything! Maria bought a picture for Carols kitchen wall this morning and now wants to buy her clothes to have remembrance of this trip! We did go out to dinner in Torbole at Surfers Grill and it was wonderful. We met GPs brother Atailio there. He is in 70's, the typical Italian Gigolo/ladies man that you see ...

... to just leave them on the platform, and that I was on my way back. I dashed out of the office and started running back to the station but this time it was a quarter mile up hill. Needless to say I was tired, but just kept moving with the thought that will have 3 hours to rest on the train. I could not miss this train! I reached the platform just as the train was pulling up and grabbed my bag, looked in the front pocket and sure enough... it ...
