Italian Job 2, Day 12, Verona, 040823
Breakfast was good in the hotel on Friday morning. I would have gone back for seconds but an old guy had coughed into his hand and then pretty much touched every piece of serving cutlery…. I knew I wouldn’t starve. We had pre-booked La Casa Di Giulietta (The House of Juliet) for 9:45am, on Via…

Italian Job 2, Day 11, Verona, 030823
We were up quite early this morning as the latest check out time was 10:00am. We also thought it might give us a head start with the traffic as we left Riva Del Garda. How wrong we were; we were no sooner leaving Riva before the traffic had built up and came to a virtual…

Italian Job 2, Day 10, Lago Di Garda, 020823
After breakfast we had planned to go up the funicular in Riva Del Garda which takes you up to the Bastion. It gives brilliant views of the town from up there, as well as Lago Di Garda. Unfortunately, we got there to see a sign telling us that the funicular was temporarily closed. I think…

Italian Job 2, Day 9, Riva del Garda, Lago Di Garda, 010823
It was another sunny day when we left Bergamo on Tuesday morning. We set off at 10am as the sat nav said it should take 2.5 hours to drive to our next destination. This was Riva del Garda, a town at the north end of Lago Di Garda. I knew there would be narrow roads…

Italian Job, Day 8, Bergamo, 310723
It was a bit dull when we woke up on Monday morning but it soon brightened up by the time we went for breakfast on the outside terrace of the hotel. It was buffet style so we could choose from cold meats, cheeses, bread, yogurt, cereal, juices and hot beverages. We walked into the city…

Italian Job 2, Day 7, Bergamo, 300723
Following the thunderstorms during Saturday night, we woke to a wet and dull Lake Como. We weren’t too bothered as we were leaving today for the next part of our journey, to Bergamo. The sun came out as we went for breakfast and we’re given the best table in the hotel: five floors up with…

Italian Job 2, Day 6, Bellagio and Varenna, 290723
Here is the video of the day’s photos ⬆️⬆️⬆️ Today was nice because we had nothing planned at all, except to take in the glorious scenery. Once we’d eaten at the buffet breakfast, with our table overlooking beautiful Lake Como, we decided we should go for a walk. We had to put some belongings in…

Italian Job 2, Day 5, Lago di Como, 280723
Images from today are in the link above ⬆️⬆️⬆️ I had trouble sleeping on Thursday night. It might have been to do with the hard pillow, or it could be thinking about the next part of our journey. Friday, day 5, involved getting up relatively early for breakfast before heading back to the Stazione to…

Italian Job 2, Day 4, Cinque Terre and Portovenere, 270723.
We woke rather later than expected but still had time for a lovely buffet breakfast in Hotel Margherita. We could choose from cold meats and cheeses, fresh pomodoro tomatoes, boiled eggs, toast, scrambled egg, bacon, pastries as well as hot and cold drinks. Once breakfast was out of the way we headed out and it…

Italian Job 2, Day 3, Monterosso Al Mare, 260723
We had been organised and packed the night before as we had an early start on Wednesday morning. The hotel arranged a cab for us, which arrived in minutes, to take us to Milano Centrale train station. The intercity 657 took us on a three hour journey down to one of the five towns that…
