Go ninie go

The hardest part of moving a machine is to kick start the engine. Once it starts moving, life gets easier.. start with gear 1, then up.. dont push it. U might hits something and topple.

I came here to kick start my engine. Yes a lot of sacrificing but its worth it  i spend the first week struggling how to start.  I was at 5mph.. now I'm 50mph. Alhamdulillah. 

I hope i will enter top speed in no time. Be patient everyone. . My kids.. you are my love. Forever and always.

Mama love u

Italia adventura

Bismillahirrahmanirrahin,

Plans are plans. By the end of the day, Allah yang menentukan.
After all the travels i did, i reckon that i may not be an enthusiast solo traveler. I prefer partners to share with. for that, my husband will be joining me after this attachment duration ends.

Janice wrote something nice about Bologna. She went to Dozza, Imola and Faenza.

After asking around the locals, this is our plan;

Day before trip - pick up car. Rental is from Eu45 per day in Bologna. It is cheaper to pick up at the airport compared to downtown. But airport is not an issue, only cost Eu7 per trip from the Bologna central by bus.

Day 1

Head to Trento
Tol road using via A22/E45 approximately 227km, takes 2h10m by car
No tol road could take up to 3 hours

Monte Bondone
Castles in Trentino

Must leave Trento before dark, head to Lake Garda
Approximately 50km, takes 40mins (tol road)

Overnight at Hotel Benaco, Lago di Garda

Day 2

Enjoying the lake, hiking maybe

Attraction : Varone waterfall
 
Still overnight at Hotel Benaco, Lago di Garda

Day 3

To Verona, city of Romeo and Juliet
Approximate 80km, one hour trip via tol road
Verona must visit


Overnight in Verona? or Mantua or head to Venice (121km, 1h 15m)
or back to Bologna?

Important note: Parking in Venice, there are only 2 places. Cost Eu30/day
Boat to the city is Eu25

Hop on bus in Verona starts at Eu20. It starts operation at 10am until 3pm

Meeting Point
Both tours start from Piazza Brà, the Square of the Arena

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok.. no overnight in Verona. too expensive! and many hotels are full already from booking.com.
we will head to Vicenza instead... seems like a nice city
Why Vicenza?
it was the home of the great architect Palladio

Vicenza
