Lake Garda

Was there a few days ago in a place called Limone, very nice. Travelling the lake road is very interesting to say the least, very scenic.
I get the map out later as one particular place looked very nice from the road, i'll post the name later

Stuff everyone else has said really...the cable car to monte baldo is a must.

Try and get to some of the little streets off the beaten track for some great delis and cafes.

And brush up on your german coz theres more Germans than italians round that region !!

Love it love it love it. Really didn't want to come home. I stayed down in the south west and can recommend visiting Sirmione, Manerba and Salo.

Riva Del Garda (right at the top of the lake) is very nice. There's also a Dainese Pro shop there. Salo is also very nice, although it doesn't look it from the main road that runs through it, but along the edge of the lake is lovely.

Milan, Venice, Florence & of course Bologna (?) are all within reach (full day out) in a car or by bike.

Traffic around the lake is bad.

I also found a fantastic shop for bike kit:-

Site is in Italian only, but it's about 5 mins off the A4 near Brescia. There were some fantastic bargains there. All the big names. Some is old stock, but they had the latest kit too.
