早前介紹過北岸深入湖頂部Riva del Garda, 仍然保留著原貌,
街道整齊,城牆與古老鍾樓是地標, 因近奧地利邊界,
德奧人週末經常來hea,有不少擺滿檸檬紀念品的商店,
而右岸的南端除了 Garda，也有另一迷人舊城新裝的湖邊古城Lazise ，
同樣保留原有城牆,仍然保留著整個中古城, 紅磚城牆與哨臺，
是意大利最古老小鎮，有牌為証！
我地去一個湖伴小城就愛上一個,
Populated since prehistorical times, from the second century a.d.
it was under Roman influence.
Latin “Lacus” means lake and laceses means village on the lake.
In the 10th century, precisely in 983, Otto II the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire granted the people of Lazise special autonomy and remarkable privileges that led to the establisment of the first Italian
“Libero Comune” = free town.
話說當日(四月)走過城牆小巷，
見到另一位亞洲女生與另一洋人走過，當時真想與女生搭訕，
只可惜水晶晶沒有勇氣，只呆呆地看著人家拐灣！
湖畔地方卻十分優雅舒暢，深受本土 Verona 、Venezia人歡迎，
假日如陽光普照風和日麗必定水洩不通，很多人一家大小出來，
坐到湖畔的Café, Bar 喝一口 Espresso, 曬太陽，
也有健兒扒乘獨木舟或駕小風帆到湖中心，
有些駕單車環湖遊的健兒是每到一個湖邊城市，
我也看到遊人全都陶醉在這美景，十分舍意！
這裡是 Lago di Garda, 最受歡迎小鎮！
我在想要是可以閒來到這裡走走，真是人生一樂事！
在他們的世界裡，不是老是在想錢錢錢，
有時間停下來可以跟大自然如斯親近，做自己喜歡的事，
比港人的生活模式多休閒、多充實。
We found a nice hotel with a terrace overlooking the lake side,
so we decided to have Gelato regardless of the chilled wind！
這兩張真的很正，最喜歡在河畔邊，喝一杯咖啡，那享受河風吹來的感覺，真的很像小說形容的情景，很想親身感受一下，想不到看了你的介紹，原來有真的情景！
回覆刪除真係好有休閒渡假feel呀!
回覆刪除唔怪得知你話奧地利人成日黎hea啦~
尾二張相好有Stanley feel...
回覆刪除Riva del Garda 查過維基，位於Trento半島一端，德文名稱Rieff，應該附近就是克羅地亞國境吧！
回覆刪除照片中的湖畔小城風景很美，應該是一塊小小的樂土吧！

這個城市真係好清潔呀! 在那裡一邊食野一邊望住小河..真係好寫意呀!
回覆刪除[版主回覆07/18/2008 05:19:00]全部沿湖城市也好清潔，很難想像是意大利管轄的城市，
差點以為去了法國同瑞士！
真的正!每間建築物都不同!
回覆刪除我好鍾意睇中古城，尤其係ｄ城牆
回覆刪除[版主回覆07/18/2008 06:04:00]原來瑞士也有不少中古城，上次在新師奶那邊見到，
好想去呵！
望到湖景的房間, 租金有幾貴?
回覆刪除尾2 張相, 湖景無敵!
[版主回覆07/18/2008 05:48:00]沿湖有不同大小城市，價格也不同，depends on season.
Lazise, 算中上 Suite for 2-3 persons: 約63,00 - 107,00 Euro，
Sirmione 半島最貴, 因有 Spa，成百間級數不同的四、五星酒店，由百多至過二百歐羅也有！

有時候我諗，以前係香港生活真係好忙，返工時間長，又多嘢做，都無時間做其他嘢；而家係關島住，都唔覺得我得閒過香港，成日要打理個花園（呢邊咁熱，所有嘢都生長得超快，尤其係我唔鐘意嘅野草！）、又花時間整呢樣整果樣去fix間屋，如果我老公佢唔洗返日班，我地一定出海，跟住日落開始就預備煮飯…其實忙仍然係好忙，不過唔同以前係香港咁，無時間為自己而忙… 我諗係香港住，不知不覺要忙住搵錢（係紐約市住嘅時候都無呢個壓力，係香港先有，唔知點解），而家我地反而可以同自己講，搵夠就算啦~
回覆刪除[版主回覆07/18/2008 06:01:00]你地忙於休閒活動，而香港人工作時間長，假期又少壓力大，
唔可以停，做三天抖兩天叫不務正業，請假去旅行叫無心戀戰，
唔可以同自己講，搵夠就算，而且香港人永遠唔滿足，
又要比較，要比別人好...太多物質！
really want to go there once
回覆刪除so relaxing
Dear 水晶晶 ,
回覆刪除I enjoy reading your Blog very much and really admire how you can travel through these scenic and lovely places so leisurely. My wife and I are having our 25th Wedding Anniversary next year and we plan to make a special trip to commemorate it. Our target destination is Lake region at Northern Italy. We want to combine hiking and wine tasting in the trip since these two are our favourite hobbies. We have heard that Autumn will be a good season. I am writing to request your expert opinion on the timing, mode of transport.... and other travelling tips. Will it be snowy and cold if we go in November?
Thanks very much in anticipation!
[版主回覆12/10/2008 17:18:00] The best way is you hire a car and wine region like Piedmone (see the blog of vineyard in Langhe) . It will be a good idea and not too far away from Lake Maggiore or lake como, where you can fly to Milan. In autumn time, the lake area is foggy so you might not be able to see the best of the lake. While the grapes harvest in autumn!
There might be buses and ferry linking town around the lake area, sme of which also carry cars. But the frequency of ferries is more intensive in the summer. Lago di Garda is also near wine region of Veneto, wine from Vapolicella, there is a good motor way from Milano to Lago di Garda and you can also visit Verona.
In Oct and early nov, won't be snowing normally, but it is still cold. you need thick jacket like those we use in winter in HK. In the evenning temperature drops. It also depends on the year, Piedmonte is snowing in late november this year!
