Before we leave for Verona a word about dinner at the Pace Hotel in Sirmione.
Beautiful setting on the lake with terrific views at sunset.
Can't say enough about the wonderful food and service at the hotel. However Bellagio is still our favorite. As the sun set over the lake a Russian family sat at the table next to us. All beautiful, a young wife, 2 blond haired boys and a curly haired toddler with a dress that spins. Dad ordered wine bottle after wine bottle even though he was for the most part the only one drinking. The 10 year old boy inhaled his ravioli and dad ordered another portion. While professing to be hungry the little guy hardly touched the food, but hey we are on vacation so who cares about the $$$ or should I say euro.
Lots of Russians in this part of Europe followed by Germans and very, very few Americans. I guess the lousy exchange rate has scared them away. Example: 400 Euro= $525!
Tip: If you are near a lake, have dinner at the lake. Incredibly beautiful and it will score points with your favorite girl.
