DAY FIVE

HOTEL ROYAL, GARDA This was our day of leisure which we all needed as the early mornings and constant travel exhausted us. There are some things I would change if I could and that would be to have a leisure day when you get here so you could re-charge your batteries and then enjoy the next few days out. When we were in Venice we did lose a couple of people who got lost on their way back to the coach and got extremely upset so maybe the drivers should give out a card with their phone numbers on it…

We travelled to a place called Sirmoione which is on the southern peninsula of Lake Garda. I thought it was very reminiscent of the Lanes in Brighton. Most of the shops are expensive but there are also some beautiful things to buy. We went through a few towns such as Peschiera, which has canals going all around the town. Lazise where there are a lot of campsites. Olives and grapes seem to be the main crops that…
