Today we are relaxing at a B&B Edward found this place by requesting information from a website that sent our date requirement to 18 B&B in Bardolino area. We received about 12 responses and we picked this one. It turned out to be more than we ever thought it would be. It was a restored chateau high in the hills above Lake Garda near Bardolino. Funny thing happened, Edward went to put some things in the room safe and when he opened the door the safe moved – the safe was not bolted down – how safe is that! Someone can just pick it up and take it away.
Both Lake Garda and Lake Como in northern Italy are super great places. The towns are interesting and each is somehow different from the others. Highly recommend for a visit.
Sadly we are leaving the lake district of northern Italy. After 6 days at Lake Como and Lake Garda we are rested and relaxed. Tomorrow we meet our friends in Venice for the last 2 weeks of our European adventure. We will travel through Venice, Florence, Tuscany and Rome for the next 2 weeks before boarding the cruise ship for home from Rome to Galveston. 5 1/2 months in Europe! What a way to retire and what an adventure. Hundreds of stories and more than 3,000 photos!!!
I am not sure about internet connections for the next two weeks since we will be in rural Tuscany. For 4 nights we will stay at a 13th Century Monastery that we know does not have internet (or telephone, TV or swimming pool for that matter). You have to acknowledge these deficiencies? before they will confirm your reservation. Guess they gave had a few Americans who screamed, "Where is the wi-fi, where is the pool?"
