Sirmione Blues
Sirmione castle on Lake Garda, Verona, Italy. Taken from an upper terrace of a restaurant. I ate dinner at the restaurant only to take this photo, the table I had was the closest balcony to the moat around the castle, but sadly the food was not memorable. The village is supposed to be closed to vehicular traffic beyond the gate at right, but locals and tourists staying at the village are exempt, which still means plenty of car traffic in the supposedly car free village. I stayed 20 minutes drive away, hotels in the center of Sirmione are very very expensive.
Edit: Placing on the map, I realized that this bitch actually belongs to Brescia, Lombardy, not Verona, Veneto. I also laughed when I saw the name of the freeway between Brescia and Verona is "Autostrada della Serenissima"! ..... NOTHING is "most serene" about that road, where cars race to the DEATH between slow moving trucks,....(I know, I know, it references the serene lagoons of Venice at the end of the road)...
