Italy Days 4 and 5

New Year's Eve was a day trip to Sirmione, a very nice resort on the tip of a peninsula on Lake Garda, the town has a castle and an amazing Roman remains of a villa covering several acres with a museum, lots of the structure is still intact so extremely interesting for anybody interested in that period.
Disappointing was that there were no local fireworks to watch but we had a six course dinner lasting until midnight and a good three piece group to make up for it and we did not have to go out in the freezing cold!
New Years day to ourselves, a lovely sunny day  with blue skies so went for a long walk along the coast and back - no buses running at all here today!
