From Brescia to Sirmione!

I stayed in Brescia for the last leg of my Italian adventure. However, I didn't see that much of it...mostly the countryside around and a couple of beautiful towns around Lake Garda, Salo and Sirmione.
I ate food cooked by my friend's grandmother, mother and father! Everything was exquisite. Alessio's Dad owns a local food business and was keen to show me EVERYTHING...I did leave with the sensation I was about to vomit at any moment from being overfed...but it was worth it.
He showed me a great locally produced drink, a type of lemonade made from HUGE melon-like-lemons called "Limoni". They are also used to produce the classic Limoncello liqueur.



Apparently, the air around Lake Garda is some of the best air you can breathe, according to Alessio.
