    We took the cheapest carriages but they still came with charging ports, food trays and snacks.
    European 7 seaters are not as roomy as American 7 seaters... And they keep growing!Lazise on the Eastern side of Lake Garda. A great location if not ferry dependent.It is down season, but there were still plenty of places open and waterside stallsWe opted to share hot chips but there were 6 rows of sauces that we needed to short listWe opted for Samurai and Algerian. No idea what they actually were but they were fantasticMight be a struggle through Aussie customs1Lake Garda - so big that the kids thought it was an ocean (uh.. Northern Italy??)1A dash to Sirmione which deserved more time as you have to park far away. (Late plan change..oops)Then back to Lazise to finalise a few check in issues and put our feet up.

Steven Ong, the drive back along the lake at sunset is better than anything you'll experience in Gran Turismo... Jonah even insisted on playing the Top Gun soundtrack on the way back.

His plan is for a broccoli risotto!So simple. So good.Round 3: Tirimisu. After this, the pasta and the risotto we didn't need much for dinner.Happy faces after a fun day in the kitchen.Piazza Bra warming up for NYE.

    Our last day in Verona

    We started the day at Juliet's house...

    (Ok, The house that was the inspiration for Juliet...OK, just some place in Verona that reminds people of the house so they stuck a statue there so that people would pay to get a grope of a well worn bronze orb)

    and ended with the Piazza Bra NYE bash.

    The highlight, however, was a simple cooking class that had all five members of the family enraptured. It will leave fond memories for a life time, but will also damn us to eternal frustration as we try to emulate our one moment of making perfect risotto and pasta from scratch.

    Venice turned it on today. Blue skies, no bad smell and an optimistic vibe in the air
    We mostly ignored the "must do" sights. Today we just wandered into random nooks and crannies.The one exception was to show Jonah St Mark's square. He was too little to remember it.20k steps later...1The late afternoon activity: Gondola rowing. I seem to be taking it a bit seriously1Lara was doing fine until she looked ahead...Half the people on the Rialto Bridge were looking at her.. with cameras.Don't hit the wall!Phew! Good job, Lara!So easy!

    Happy New Year!

    The sun is out for the start of the year. We'd like four more sunny days then freezing cold with lots of snow please. A few days in Venice Mestre lie ahead. Today, the old city to show the kids, followed by a couple of day trips to places that we've never been to...Читать далее

No BreadTops here.140cm trout right outside their door!If you're going to fall into a canal, do it here...not in Venice.The Christmas lights in the canals must look pretty at nightProsecco... Ok, it's pretty good.

    Today we travelled to Treviso.. home of Tiramisu, the United Colours of Benetton and Prosecco. I note that Prosecco is a grape not a region. The grape actually comes from the Karst region of Slovenia so any move by the Italians to "geo-trademark" the term Prosecco is clearly bullshit. "They're dreamin'!"
    Beyond all that, Treviso is beautiful... Calm, pretty and dotted with greenery, eateries and waterways.

    Pounding the Pavement in Padua

    Padua is an old university town. Capernicus and like-minded heathens would come here to study away from the prying eyes and influence of the Vatican. The town is a monument to science and religion developing a relationship and living side by side in a uniquely Italian way.Читать далее
