Did I tell you about Malcesine at Lake Garda ?

Thought not ?

Went there many years ago.

Anyway there was a techy fault on the Charter plane on the way back, which resulted in the flight being cancelled and having to fly to Stansted the next working day instead with a free coach trip back to my local airport.

Anyway no complaints as I got the cost of my holiday refunded back to me by the airline so it was a 9 day holiday for less than £100-00 lol ! Great value for money !!

If I remember correctly, the holiday company was Islands Getaways. Not sure if they still exists but who cares.

    So, what about Malcesine at Lake Garda ? You don't mention it in your post ? Bit pointless really.

    Now I thought Lake Garda was a lake, not an island. Island Getaways, hmmmm.

    It's really nice to be informed of the largesse of Island Getaways which operates exclusively in the islands of, er, Guernsey and Jersey. I myself would be similarly pleased to have my money back if I'd booked a holiday in St Helier and had to spend it in Italy instead, so thanks, OP, for the heads-up! :j It's amazing, really, what you get to hear about on MSE.

    Yes Stephenliverpool1 you did tell us about Malcesine at Lake Garda, again! He's been banging on about that story for years, just don't get him started about the Beatles and the time he carried the drums for Ringo!!!!
