Tuesday June 19th: Mantua


After breakfast on the terrace



A coach trip today to Mantua. An old Medieval city but not one of Italy's most elegant. Time to wander its historic core of four linked piazzas and a leisurely lunch indulging in the local risotto.

The afternoon saw a visit to the Park Giardino Sigurta. Very green and very large. Too large to walk round so we took the 40 minute "wally trolley" ride.

Hot an sticky we returned to Malcesine with time for a refreshing shower before dinner. A quiet evening on the terrace however was impossible as the hotel had been persuaded to bring out a big TV for guests to watch the England-Ukraine match. Early night.
