One reason we wanted to be in Lake Garda at this particular time was for my birthday and for our 30th wedding anniversary; we anticipated that it was a beautiful place and it certainly was.<\/span><\/p>\n

My birthday was on Sunday, a lovely sunny warm day, we took a drive out to Bardolino and Lazise, the towns we seem to like the best, and had a walk along the seafronts of both before settling for lunch in a lake side restaurant.\u00a0 In Italy, you have to do as the Italians do, and eat pizza and drink wine, which we did! Dessert was a huge ice cream full of amaretto biscuits and Baileys!!!

For our anniversary we had booked a “couples day spa” in Lazise before checking into a lake side hotel; David had booked a “Suite”, turns out it was a room in the top floor rafters above the restaurant with its own private look out tower!\u00a0 Dinner was a lovely meal, topped with a bottle of sparkling wine of course and dessert before coffee and lemoncello (for me) and grappa (for David).<\/span><\/p>\n

This was our “private tower” above the restaurant\/hotel on Lake Garda.<\/p><\/div>\n
