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.
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 ...

... juliet. There's a statue of her underneath it and crowds of people in line to touch her boob.. apparently it's good luck... so we all took our turns touching juliet's boob and we took pictures of it. The balcony was really awesome. There's also a "tunnel of love" that you have to go through to get to the balcony. You're supposed to write your name on it. So we all wrote our names in permanent marker in the tunnel. On sunday Gaston finally made it!! We were glad he could ...

Ciao! I'm writing to you from the top of an Italian Alp! It took two days of tears and a ten hour cramped van ride to get here. After sam's birthday they had live music in the hotel. It was a really cool band who played 80s and 90s music like ghost busters and living in america! They were an Italian band but Italian's loveee american music! it was a lot of fun. Saturday they took us to a dischotecha in Ostuni. It was in a cave and it was really cool! The ...

... some Murano earrings and bracelet plus some cute Murano ducks. After we all found each other again Pina took her bike home, GP walked home to get the car so we could do more touring. We headed N toward Tenno on a very windy road. Carol now takes pills and sits in the front. We explored this ancient hillside town before meeting Maria's sister, Gienna, her daughter Christina and husband Gilberto for lunch at AgriturCalvola, another outstanding place ...

... too- there is a huge castle/fortress high on a prominent point above the town. This is also a town the rock climbers come to for extreme climbing. We walked all over town trying to find a street fair Maria had read about, and finally did find it- very small, about 10 booths and a food booth where we ate a plate of LOTS of thin sliced beef and red beans - and red wine of course! Really good meat and we all cleaned our plates. Walked a bit ...

... everything from Carols family including the diary she kept while living with Carols family-It was happy and sad and tears and joy for all of us! When we were ready to head back to the hotel GP insisted on walking us all the way-he didn't want us to have any problem. They are just great to us. Oh, they didn't tell us cause they thought we knew that all European hotels are Bed and Breakfast and we were to have our breakfast ...

... 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 ...
