Our trip to Italy during the summer of 2012

We decided to drive to Italy from Stockholm after we came back 3 days from our vacation holiday. It was a very long drive down. We stayed a night in Hannover, Germany after more than 15hrs of drive from Stockholm. It was a nice lovely city. We took the train down to the town in the evening to have our dinner. Later, we took a walk around.The next day we woke up at 9, had our breakfast and start to head the road down again. This time we drove straight down to Italy.We arrived Italy almost midnight. Checked into the hotel and went to sleep straight away. Next day when we got up, we drove to Lake Garda which is just 30 minutes away. That was where we stayed few days.It is beautiful in Lake Garda. It is more of a tourist place. I would recommended this place for anyone who have not been to Italy. It is fantastic.

We did drove down to Lake Orta during our stay in one of the hotel nearby. My husband prefer Lake Orta much more than Lake Garda. I found both places amazingly beautiful.

On our way back home, we drove by the Swiss Apls. It has so many breathtaking scenery. We actually did drove pass by the Swiss Alps on our way down to Italy but since it was dark and very late night, we were not able to see any view. So we had the opportunity to see the most beautiful breathtaking view of Swiss Apls on the way back now. I may took so many photos, but there are just few which I think I would like o put them up right now.

We stop almost on the top of the mountain, bought some drink, rest a little and took some amazing photos from the top of the mountain.It was a great holiday with all the 3 children but very tiring journey indeed. I don't think I would love to drive this long drive again next time unless we can have the luxury of stopping over to stay a night after every 5 hrs drive.
