LAKE GARDA

The back roads in Italy are so beautiful and now that I have time I never take the Autostradas, up here in the mountainous regions between Bolzano and Trento there are so many curves and views of the snow capped peaks that there is a painting around almost every corner but not much parking since the roads are narrow and there are high cliffs on the side.
I meandered in Brandy all down the side of Lake Garda with it's turquoise water through the little towns where every second shop is a Gelateria with dozens of ice cream flavours.  An excellent one was made of mascarpone with figs.
Had a lovely dinner high up overlooking the lake with a friend Galia who lives near here in a big, cool house.

  1. Toll, dass du endlich, endlich die Sonne gefu nden hast (oder sie dich .......)
    So reicht die Wärme nicht nur für Irland. Auch wir hatten heute ein super leckeres Eis; eines von Margret's 21 Kugeln. Für Kenmare schier unglaublich .......
    Leider soll das schöne Wetter nur noch bis morgen dauern.
    take care, so long
    MaNo
    dauern: aber, was wir hatten, hatten wir.
