23RD OCTOBER 2024 ~ The first destination of the Europe trip was Sirmione in Italy. Before reaching the old city of Sirmione, we stopped for a short while by Lake Garde to admire its beauty.
Lake Garda is the biggest lake in Italy and is known for its picturesque panoramic view. Unfortunately, when we arrived that morning, the sky was cloudy and everything looked grey. In bright daylight, we would have witnessed a better view of the lake and the mountains.
We only managed to stay by the lake side not for long as it started to drizzle and we had to walk faster to the old city. The rain got heavier once we reached the castle area actually.
These are the five people whom I was staying with throughout the trip. The one of the left was the tour leader, Mr. Shamsul Akmal Shamsuddin. The two younger guys are his boys who drove everybody around up and down the mountains. The other one is green is Mr. Rosman, Mr. Shamsul's friend who also acts as the driver for the trip.
The map above should provide you the location where we were that day. Sirmione is on the north side of Italy, the country with the shape of a boot, located between the two major cities, Milan and Venice.
The red dot is Sirmione which is perched right by the side of Lake Garda.
Do come back for more stories and photos of the 5-day road trip around Italy and Austria too.
