Hi Everybody,On day two of the holiday we take the train journey from France into Italy and the scenery is spectacular as we cross more high, snow covered Alps
We arrived at the hotel that will be our destination for the next five nights and this is the view from our bedroom window.
The weather is sunny and warm and the town of Desenzano on the edge of Lake Garda is very pretty.
We sat for a pleasant hour people watching and enjoying a Bacardi and Coke and Griff had a beer.
Along the front of the harbour there are some speed boats that can be hired
Once you sit at these tables they bring you dishes of pretzels, crisps, nuts or pizza slices all free of charge ....
This is the bar attached to our hotel, where most of our group met each evening to enjoy a cool drink before going in to dinner.
So tomorrow we are off to discover another part of Italy.
I hope you will join me for day three as we take a coach trip to Verona .... home of ill fated lovers Romeo and Juliet
More tomorrow ...
Hugs xx
Christina,
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful view. Great pictures! Thank you so much for the tour, can't wait for tomorrow.
Looks wonderful Christina and the weather looks like it was fab, just hope you've brought a bit home with you. Look forward to tomorrow's installment. We're off to the Great British Craft Festival in Bolton this morning so I'm really excited to see what bargains I can find and to pick up a few essentials as well.

Good afternoon Christina,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for putting up your beautiful photographs of your fabulous holiday. I used to sell Lake Garda in a past life but have never had the opportunity to see it, only from holiday brochures and the gazateer that the travel industry uses(its called their truth book). Somehow i had no trouble in selling it as it so lived up to its hype and more. I am glad that you had a lovely time, even with the wee blip at the start. Wow the rep that you had was a gold medal winner.
Love and crafty hugs

You are bringing back happy memories for me Christina and lake Garda is just beautiful ,Enjoy !
