The Italian Adventure-Lake Garda region-July 3, 2012

Took a train from Rome to Bologna, where we picked up our rental car. A Fiat, what else?
From Bologna we went to the Lake Garda Area, specifically Gardone Riviera. This is a beautiful region. The Dolomite Mountains drop to the water, hotels and houses are built right on the side of the mountain, the sea side towns are quaint and clean and feel so safe. The views are breathtaking. We visited many of the little towns on the west side of the lake. First we took a boat tour from Grandone Riviera to the north. Aagh, forget the name... Then we got in the car and visited some of the little towns. We drove to Riva, then turned around and came back to our hotel.

This was our resting stage from the hard work of sightseeing. It was great. Wonderful setting with a wonderful significant other!
