Italy 2011


ITALY 2011


Well after China last year i didn't think i would get another spectacular holiday this year but i was happy to book are next holiday to Italy! Never been to Italy but always wished to visit it as i love Italian food and the beautful scenery. We got the plane to Italy at the end of July and landed in Lake Garda where we were staying. Lake Garda was as beautiful as i imagined. flowers everywhere, orange, green, pink and yellow buildings and ovcourse a georgeous green and blue lake surrounded by mountains and bars on the peer.


You could really embrace Italian culture straight away, very narrow streets with stalls selling pasta, cloths, pottery. The architecture was kind of run down but it didn't seem scruffy more historical and vintage. There was lots of dogs as well, Italy loves its dogs!


The lake was stunning on the evening. Boats were lined up against the peer just bobbing on the lake.


The scenery surrounding Lake Garda was stunning and there was nothing better then sitting in a bar having some Italian food and a cocktail and looking out at this view. The weather was lovely, red hot through the day and cool on the night.



Was a good first day in Italy and already i felt i had embraced its culture, that night a thunderstorm rolled in. Was strange but a very exciting storm with flashes of orange thunder lighting up the sky.
