To Riva del Garda, Italy

I made a small mistake that I waited until yesterday to go to train station purchasing the ticket to Verona, Italy and found out the first class seatings from Brig to Verona were all booked out. Second class and first class has a huge difference especially when the train enters Italy. An Italian couple came sitting next to Alice from Domodossola station, and the man had really interesting smell.

Brig train station:




Verona train station was bigger than I thought. There was a McDonald in the station which looked so appealing that all 4 of us wanted to eat lunch at the McDonald. Again, we found ATM, got some Euro. Most of ATMs only let you cashing 250 Euro each time. The bus station is right next to the train station and the ride to Riva Del Garda only costs 5.2 Euro but takes 2 hours.



Lac Del Garda is the largest lake in Italy. It is located in Northern Italy, about half-way between Venice and Milan. Riva del Garda is located at the north-western corner of Lake Garda also called BenĂ co (70 m above sea level). Mount Rocchetta (1,575 m) rises steeply to the west, with Mount Baldo (2,218 m) to the east. This location makes Riva del Garda one of the most spectacular spots around Lake Garda.
