We're off to Lake Garda tomorrow for the wedding of some Italian friends. I've just played my favourite Puccini to get us in the mood ... ... how could anyone imagine this and write it down all those years ago. Wonderful.
That's beautiful Smug, we visited Puccini's villa at Torre del Lago and did the whole twee touristy bit, boat on the lake playing Puccini and drinking sweet tuscan wine whilst eating biscotti. Enjoy Lake Garda, we are there next month
Sometimes 'doing the touristy bit' is the best option although I usually avoid it ... ... I'd have gone to live in Italy if the money was there, my favourite place for all kinds of reasons.
And mine Smug. We've done quite a bit of Italy, normally under our own steam. Strangely we have never visited anywhere in the east coast of Italy except Venice and would like see a bit more of that side one day.
