... itself, then Malcesine. At least half of traffic seems to be on two wheels: the land of the rider! 35 degrees spotted on thermo.) We find camping we are looking for, but have forgotten how enormous these sites are! Get **** spot, right next to road, but decide to live with it until the morrow.
That night we saunter into Bardolino to eat. Find fine bustling restaurant and opt for a la carte... For the first time in ...

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 ...

... it was so much fun!! It was like an amusement park ride but with an amazing view. I took lots of pictures, of course :) At the top of the mountain i ordered veal goulash. It was nothing like mom's. It was chunks of veal in a tomato sauce and it came with mushrooms, potatoes and polenta. It was really good (but not as good as mom's.. obviously). The ride down the mountain was even more fun because it was at night. The next day we had to help serve a ten top of 20 year ...

... english, told us she had a fantastic time with us and would see us soon. We gave her big teary eyed hugs and said goodbye. The next day was the worst of all. We woke up early to eat breakfast with Dominico and Sarah, Pino's son and his girlfriend. I got a knock on my door telling me to hurry up, Pino was outside saying a quick goodbye before he had to go to the airport. I was so relieved that i was going to get to say goodbye to the person i had grown ...

... andiamo a visitare. Per questa ragione abbiamo deciso di acquistare la NY Pass www.newyorkpass.com , una card del costo di 132$ che offre l'ingresso (senza code) a praticamente tutte le attrazioni della cittą. Ne esistono numerose altre tra cui la city pass che costa meno ma comprende meno ingressi. (dipende un po' dall'uso che vorrete farne.

... fantastic hill climb of a very scary billy cart hill! We our way through the little towns which do the plateau. Wine vines were very common, as were fruit trees. They way they grow their vines here is a little different from what I remember of places like the Hunter Valley; they train the vines to grow in a T shape, the vines interconnecting to provide a canopy under which the ...

... We had gone outside earlier to watch them prepare Polenta in a big pot over a wood fire. We also saw them serving entire pork legs with bone in to other parties. After that drove to Borgo Castle town where we could walk around - built on hillside and like a maze to walk through. We did one cache here with both Pina and Maria getting excited. GP had parked the car and we never did meet him so wandered all around the town hunting for each other- At one ...

Saturday -Up, and down to the breakfast in the hotel, the one we didn't know about yesterday. Filled with food and walked downtown to windowshop and about 10 Maria phoned us to meet them back at the hotel. A quick trip up to our room and then off with them, first stop was the supermarket that we really enjoyed, and I bought spices for Darlene, then off to the town of Arco, close by. This is a fantastic place, as are all the old towns we have ...

... made from wheat, during the war when coffee was not available, back at the street fair - and we tried it with whip cream on top- very good. Then a long walk for a good view of the other side of the castle and headed back. GP drove us into Riva where he dropped the 3 of us off so we could look for our European FIRST cache this holiday! We walked about 1/3 mile UP and around the lake and looked for a long time and I finally spied it, a ...

... double beds that we think were actually double. You see, in Italy theres this weird idea that a double bed means two single beds pushed together - have we told you this before? Oh well you're going to hear it again.....it's the crack you see....some of us are getting very tired of it...but anyway on to other things. Some cracks are larger than others as the beds are seperated by a wooden frame. The castle had this kind of crack, it was similar ...
