Italy, Lake Garda and

The Big 'Hob'day

We flew out to Malcescine on Wednesday 18th May as part of a week long package holiday, so had a nice hotel booked for 7 nights and best of all a coach to take us from Verona airport straight to the hotel.


The time in Malcescine was very relaxed, lots of wandering the cobble-stone streets, admiring the really cool castle from different angles and meeting friends and family in various cafes and restaurants. The town offers fantastic scenery, making walks along the lakeside very pleasant and there are various boat trips on the lakes and the chance to see views from the top of Monte Baldo, I took the cable-car up there for a morning view.


We got married on Monday 23rd and started our honeymoon on Wednesday 25th driving off in a hire car in the direction of Switzerland.

It was a magical day - a blend of amazing scenery, great weather and a collection of really great people.

A BIG BIG Thank you to all our loved ones that came
