I’ve always longed for a tranquil, quiet place. Somewhere close to nature; the sun, the mountain, the sea and away from people.

.
I thought this kind of place will only exist in the movie or in dream. I never thought that I would find it in Italy. The Lake Garda (Largo di Garda) really amazed me. Ken’s friend stumbled upon this place accidentally last year and he recommended us to visit there. So here I am at Lake Garda……swimming playing with water. Hehehe… I’ll drown cos I forgotten how to swim. Almost 2 years didn’t go into swimming pool, I admit that I’m really really bad at sports =P.

.
Lake Garda is the biggest lake in Italy, 9th largest lake in Europe. It’s size is equals to 50,000 football pitch. The water is crystal clear, blue and clean and the current on the water surface makes it looks like the sea. The beauty of Lake Garda is unable to be describe by words. It is just so beautiful. Even guys also more handsome there. (I stayed in href=”http://www.casabarca.com”>Hotel Casa Barca and the owner very lengchai and tall ler. He looks like Dr. House a bit.)

.
Water sports and sun bathing are popular here. You have no idea how many boobies I saw that day. Don’t want to elaborate more, use ur imagination. =P

.
The Lake is surrounded by tall mountains and small towns. One of the most famous mountains there is Mt. Baldo in the town of Macelsine. Check here for the list of towns around Lake Garda.

.
We took cable car up to the peak of Mt. Baldo, which is 1700m above sea level (or lake level?). It is so cool to be on top of a mountain. I feel so close to the sky and I could almost catch the clouds at this height. But the experience when coming down the mountain scares the hell outta me.

.
Yea, almost because we can’t catch the clouds as you know clouds are not solid, could only feel the cool breeze when the clouds passed through my body. It feels so nice and refreshing. For the first time, I touched a cloud indirectly. Lol.

.
The sun is so close to earth and that’s why I’m so tanned now! =(… Shit… now my legs and arms got 2 tones.

.
Even me photos taken on top of mountain looks prettier. =P

.
Hiking, mountain biking, paragliding are popular activites here during summer.

.
When I stand here, it makes me wanna sing “The sound of music”.
….the hills are alive… at the sound of music…. haaaaa…. haaaa…..

.
Oh there were moo moo cows there too. Wah, like Fern leaf milk ads, 母牛喝清洁的水，吃新鲜的草 will produce good milk.

.
Humans are amazing creature. I wonder how did they climb up to such a high place and live there.

I super duper love Lake Garda. It is the best place in Italy. Forget about Rome, the transport system there sucks. Venice is too boring and Gondola ride cut throat. Milan is to tipu stupid rich people, the price for LV, Gucci, Burberry is like so much more expensive than other cities.
