Before we left home, the booking service sent tourist suggestions near our hotel. There were only 3 and the last one was the bus station in Malcesine. (I speculated before we came that perhaps they thought we might need to leave quickly.) The bus station was, well a bus station, but the village was delightful. John spent a few of his euros (thanks to the Zahns) on an Italian leather wallet and (will wonders never cease!) threw his old ratty one away. John & Judy had their first "real" Italian pizza (they declared it delicious!) with us at a sidewalk cafe where we watched the human jack-in-the-box (the guy in the middle of the first photo if you can't guess) entertaining passers-by. For you gardeners out there, please note the grape vine growing out of the wall shown in the left of the photo. That vine trails up and around the balcony shown in the second photo. And yes, the bride and groom also had their photo taken with "old jack".
And just because Lake Garda is so pretty I thought I'd also include the following picture. You may have to blow up the photo a bit, but you should be able to find two roads that skirt the lake. We arrived on the lower one that has at least four tunnels in this section. I think I mentioned yesterday there were a lot of tunnels. Believe me now?
In order to try your comment section, I wanted to see if John bought an outfit like the jack in the box, so he could be "john in the box".
