Residence Molino Manerba del Garda

After all my travels throughout the world this beautiful place on lago di garda is without much doubt the most spiritual place I have found. It has a wonderful light and feeling to it. The calming lake and the imposing surrounding mountains give it an other worldy feel I have not encountered before. The small town of Salo' is the most authentic ...

I'm so sorry I've been horrible at keeping up with this! I keep a personal journal that I (try to) write in everyday, and then letters and emails, and Facebook, and another journal that Ben and I keep...I have so many places to update it's not even funny! But, here we go...get prepared for a long entry!

After Halloween, pretty much the entire town of Dello became sick. And that's only a slight exaggeration. First it was Francesco, who woke up one ...

... porridge with mushrooms and mozzarella which was sooo yumm,and then tripe and polenta which was also good.
They like their polenta here...

Checked out Juliette's House as it was included in the Verona card we got, but it was pretty **** and not worth paying for separately. She never even lived there...

Verona is a nice little town, but 1 day was plenty enough and time to move on to Milan

......... So apparently the title is a quote from Romeo and Juliet...... You learn something new every day!

So we only stopped here for a couple of hours as a rest stop but it was pretty cool.

Verona is a very pretty town that is famous for Juliet Capulet's balcony and the entrance to the balcony is where all the lovey dovey couples write ...

... own special charm, and lured me in!! Now of course, nothing that had to do with my love for this town...we did of course visit the famous balcony of Juliet, and Romeo's house, and Juliet's tomb. (Even though there is no physical evidence of people by those names ever existing...)


So we left the place of love behind and drove on up into Germany...

... across the square and to enter the cathedral. It was crazy with people walking through the water (getting wet), people pushing in and police actually trying to get some order. We decided to get out of that area quickly as everything was overpriced. We headed towards the Rialto Bridge and came across toilets which cost 1.50 Euros each person which apparently is the going rate. So for 4 of us, it cost $12 AUD just for us to go to ...

... painting in them were common. I’m not really into Italian art, but there were a couple of Bellini’s paintings which were a standout. The castle itself was impressive, including the bridge that crossed the river from the castle. After we left the castle, we searched for a kid’s playground that we read about, plus Tara wanted to go to the toilet so we thought there would be one there. When we found it, the playground was really suitable for small ...

Arriving in Peschiera del Garda station the heat is remarkable, We sit on a bench under a tree waiting for the taxi to arrive. Nothing turns up for 45mins! we speak to the local newsagents and it turns out we have to call for one, turns up 15mins later and we arrive at the family camping resort San Benedetto. The only place to pitch a tent is next to the campsite playing field on ...

< br>Iseo seemed a pleasant enough little town in the morning, though the daylight didn’t help my spatial awareness much. Driving from the Bed and Breakfast we had stayed at back to Gerry’s, a parked truck took up most of the space in one of the town’s narrow laneways. Thinking I had comfortably enough space to get by it, it came as a rude shock to hear a loud scraping ...
