Saturday  June 16h: Journey Out

Journey Manchester - Verona with Fly-be was fine. 13:15 from Manchester landing at 16:45, Italian time.  There was a slight delay in leaving the airport as four Thomas Cokke clients had got lost, but then a 75 minute drive got us to the Excelsior Bay in Malcesine.


Our room is compact but comfortable although we might have a quibble about shortage of storage space.  We’d booked a side balcony but as we are on the corner of the hotel, it’s as good as a front  one.

The evening meal convinced us that the food was as good as we remembered it ten years ago.

We  strolled into  Malcesine in the evineng, immediately being reminded how much hotter it was once one had left the lakeside.. After a coffee by the main harbour, we strolled back and had a relatively early night after the travelling.
