    Lake Garda, Venice and 128 slices of pizza in 8 days

    Published: Aug 3, 2016 · Modified: May 4, 2018 by Nicky Corbishley

    I'm going to be that annoying person who makes you look through my holiday snaps today! Back on Friday with another recipe!Lake Garda and Venice

    Our first visit to Italy, and it was amazing!

    Hot sunny days, amazing lightening storms over the mountains by night, swimming in the lake, soooo much ice cream and a scary amount of pizza!Lake Garda and Venice

    I'm not going to witter on too much today, I just wanted to share a few of  my favourite snaps from our little holiday. Chris took about 90% of them - I'm rubbish at photos on the move!)

    We spent two days in Venice (boiling hot, busy, but very beautiful) where we managed two speed boat rides and a gondola ride in 24 hours, followed by 7 days in Lake Garda.
    We did some driving around the lake in our tiny hybrid car (that basically had all the power of a hair dryer, but it was cheap!) and every time we found a new little beach or dock, our breath was taken away. The lake is so beautiful we were completely drawn to it. Can't wait to go back again one day!

    Let's start off with Lewis - looking rather happy that we were getting a boat from the airport to the hotel!Lake Garda and Venice

    Gracey looking a little more serene.Lake Garda and Venice

    Gondola ride in Venice (he even sang to us :-)):Lake Garda and Venice

    Waterfront at St. Mark's square, Venice, in the evening.Lake Garda and Venice

    Best mode of transport!Lake Garda and Venice

    A day in Gardaland (the kids loved it!!).Lake Garda and Venice

    Gorgeous views in Peschiera del Garda (south of the lake):Lake Garda and Venice

    One of the pretty shops in Sirmione:Lake Garda and Venice

    Early evening in Lazise:Lake Garda and Venice

    Lewis attempting his first dive in Lake Garda. Didn't quite go as planned!!Lake Garda and Venice

    Gracey after a few practise dives:Lake Garda and Venice

    Oh dear - THAT'S why I don't wear bikinis! A few too many ice creams I think!!Lake Garda and Venice

    Or maybe too much of this kind of thing....Lake Garda and Venice

    and this....Lake Garda and Venice

    Bliss.Lake Garda and Venice
