    Oh, wow. I love Riva del Garda. It's one of my wife and I's favourite places in the world. We've been twice. It's like a little piece of Heaven.

    It really is a beautiful place, isn't it, Paul? Next time I want to go when it's a bit warmer as there was a cool wind a lot of the time!

    August is good. It's still very warm but just starting to cool.

    August sounds good for sitting outside with a glass of wine in the evening (without having to wear two sweaters and a coat!)

    Beautiful photos! I remember some of them from my own trip with my husband a year after we were married (Rome, Florence & Venice). Any cute Italian men? :)

    A cute waiter at the hotel, Jen, and a VERY nice tour guide in Verona - but both rather too young for me :-(

    Thanks, Rosemary - I loved Verona, especially the medieval squares. Didn't have as long as I would have liked in Venice, so would love to go back there one day.

    Beautiful pictures. The only one I enlarged to get a better look of though was the one of the ice cream. LOL I'm needing me a snack.....

    Jenn - it really was beautiful, but I want to go back when it's a bit warmer!

    beachlover - I'm already thinking about a possible novel which starts off in Venice!

    Angie - the ice cream looks (and tastes!) delicious!
