Monte Baldo


Here i am a top Monte Baldo! We waited in a hour and a half long que then went on the longest, highest cable car to reach the top of the enourmous mountain. Was lovely at the top with some spectacular views, i had to take many pictures. Was very cloudy on top, probbly because we were so high, but the views were suppose to have been clearer.


It didn't ruin the views for me because it was misty i thought it added to the experience.


The fact that the clouds touched the tops of the mountains we were stood on was amazing. It helped show how high it was and how close we were to the sky.


When the clouds shifted the blue sky shone through and the view was terrific. You could see the blue lake stretch across the mountains below us and the clouds, hovering above, crawling up the mountain side. To describe it isn't enough its the best place i have ever been, Its deffenetly the highest place i have ever stood, excluding been on a plane ovcourse.




You literally are on top of the world!


Looking down over the cliff side you could see the huge lake and a very tinny Malcesine village! If you fell off here!


They are the largest mountains i've ever seen and dwarf the ones in Scotland.



How did i get here?



On top of Monte Baldo was a cafe called Alex bar! What are the odds! Imagine coming up here for your 9 till 5 job every day!

Was a great experience on Monte Baldo and one of the most beautiful and breath taking views i've ever seen.

Malcesine


On the second day after a nice dip in the pool we headed on a coach towards the Italian alps and to Monte Baldo one of the biggest mountains in the area. On the coach there, there was some stunning scenery, crisp blue lakes and lush mountains.


Theres a Yacht party and i'm not invited...


We arrived in the town of Malcesine. was another beautiful Italian village full of colourful buildings and nice views.  


Was red hot constantly. Never took my shorts off! I really like this picture, the aqua green lake looks so inviting.


Just look at that pure beauty!


The village was nice and the Italians friendly, i did see a few waving there hands around like i wondered if they did, and even heard a woman say "Mama mia"! Great to here a geniuine Italian Mama mia! The village laid in the shadow of Monte Baldo and we couldn't waite to get up it.




The Italians know how to make a great postcard. Placing a castle on top of the biggest hill in the village, smart and beautiful.
