Lake Garda 21 – How did I get here

South Garda to Claino con Osteno

Finally it was time! To fly from my little world in Malcesine, where I have spent nearly two weeks sailing, eating, tourist-ing, and [occasionally] working, and where I have had the most marvelous “how did I get here” experiences, to continue the journey. It began with a car tour of South Garda – focus onContinue reading “South Garda to Claino con Osteno”

Riding Garda

And so I had an “extra” day in Malcesine, my last after 11 (!), and so I decide to rent a bike and ride it to the town of Garda, about 30km South. It was a nice day, a nice ride, and a good chance to see a little bit more of the lake beforeContinue reading “Riding Garda”

Touring Malcesine Castle

(So cool that I blogged about it 🙂 ) There are things to see here, and I tried to see them, starting with the localContinue reading “Touring Malcesine Castle”

So I’ve been staying at this awesome AirBnB in Malcesine, Italy (see Mothing Malcesine for more including pictures) and the view from my balcony directly faces the town of Limone, across Lake Garda. Seen from afar it looks amazing and beautiful, and so last night I decided to see it from aclose (is that aContinue reading “Limone”
