I still love Italy









































































Some more photos this time of around Lake Garda and quite a few of Verona, another amazing Italian city. The first of the Verona photos is of Juliet's balcony, mmmm!!!! Absolutely hoards of tourists in the courtyard beneath the balcony many leaving 'love tokens' stuck to the walls and love letters in a souvenir shop dedicated to the star crossed lovers. All very tacky and really rather sad. But the rest of Verona was fabulous so much to see but only one day, so would love to go back. Lake Garda was fascinating, lots of villages dotted round the shore all accessible by boat, all full of character, and each quite different. Quite touristy but generally not over the top. And we had fabulous weather which always helps!


Next stop the Alps.

Oh, I've never been to Italy and I do want to put that right! Your beautiful photos are a reminder of everything I'd like to see for real. Thank you for sharing them.

It's beautiful. I haven't explored nearly enough of Italy but I guess it'll have to wait until I get back to the UK. Thanks for the flavour!
