DAY SEVEN

This started at 9 am as we set off for Malcesine and the big wine and local goods shop, which had a huge selection and a tasting table for the cream Limoncello. We then went up to Riva Del Garda, stopping for a couple of hours. The scenery around the lake is amazing it was lovely to drive along the coast road to see the many houses and towns. We arrived back at Garda to squeeze in some sunbathing around the pool.
