We left Bolzano yesterday and drove south to Riva del Garda on which is the most northern city on Lake Garda.  Lake Garda is the biggest lake in Italy.

Since we had to check out of the hotel around noon and couldn’t check in until 3 at the next place, we decided to take back roads to the lake instead of taking the highway.  (Doing this also means we avoided tolls so I’m fine driving a little longer to not pay.). The drive started through vineyards, through the fruit trees and then around the mountain pass.

Here is a quick glimpse of the drive.  Yes, the windshield is dirty 🙂
