We packed our bags after breakfast and left them in the storage cupboard at reception. With no intention of doing anything too energetic today, we started by sitting in the shade of the trees on the bar terrace, watching the world go by. A cold drink and reading a book helped the morning pass without incident. When the little hand was just past the 12, we took a walk to a restaurant around the corner from the hotel and had more authentic Italian pizzas, which were REALLY GOOD.
After sitting beside the lake for a few minutes, it became uncomfortably hot, so we returned to relax in the cool air-conditioned lounge and read some more. Changed into our travel clothes in time for the bus that took us to the airport. The journey lasted around 2 hours, including picking up others at a few places en-route, the reverse of when we arrived last week. The bus's air conditioning was struggling to cope and the internal temperature climbed gradually. Fortunately it was having some effect because when we arrived at Verona airport the outside temperature was 38°C! For my friends across the pond, that's 100°F.
Our flight was uneventful, as was the drive home, arriving just a shade after midnight. Two weary, but happy travellers after a super 7 days surrounded by beautiful countryside, pretty towns, an emerald-green lake bathed in hot sunshine, and scrumptious Italian food. All told, a very successful holiday.
Shout of thanks to "Jet2 Holidays" who put the package together. Well done. Good job!
Sounds sublime. Jet2 Holidays would probably appreciate it if you commented on their website or another form of social media. A lot of decisions regarding holidays are made based on peer reports these days and the best compliment you could give a company would be to give them something that would increase sales. (Said the Travel and Tourism teacher.... ;-) )
