| It rained hard last night and it's still raining this morning. So far it's looking like a break day. |
 |
| An hour later, the rain is lightening up. I think I'll plan an abbreviated loop to the west where it looks like the rain will stop first. |
 |
| Killing some time by walking down into Malcesine old town for breakfast |
 |
| The water is angry about all the wind |
 |
| but the weather does look promising on the other side of the lake |
 |
| some kind of archeological preservation of historic alpine accomodations |
 |
| Mountain lake in the Ledro valley |
 |
| the weather sure did clear up nicely over here |
 |
| I have another favorite road, sp9 between Crone and Gargnano |
 |
| in line for the ferry back across the lake towards Malcesine |
 |
| looks like the rain is coming back. I'm getting out just in time. |
 |
| Waiting for the ferry in Maderno. |
 |
| here's my boat. It's small. |
 |
| running away from the rain |
 |
| From the middle of Lago di Garda |
 |
| Olives on the orchard trees near my AirBnB |
 |
| Dinner was particularly good tonight at Mignon (I think, not absolutely sure about this one) |
 |
| Lasagne, special of the day |
 |
| was good... |
 |
| Grappa --- the waiter was surprised when I asked him what Grappa is. He said I probably wouldn't like it, but I'm curious. |
 |
| It's interesting. Lemon, bilberry, and hazelnut. Very strong (120 proof) brandy with a little methanol (poison). |
 |
| I'm having a little trouble finding my way out of old town. All these narrow "streets" and my grappa brain... |
 |
| The old downtown of Malcesine is a very cute maze of tiny streets about 3 meters wide width outdoor seating, restaurants everywhere. I'm the shops are open late on Saturday night. |
 |
| peaking into the church downtown. The church is pretty but not very popular. |
