    Thanks WD TG DIA Jwil Blackcats and Beanie

    I ended up on a slightly unintentional mystery tour as I just got on any bus going out of town and ended up here 


     
     I then took another bus to a Lake Garda (above)
     but I was glad I wasn't staying there as it was so built up compared to where I am which is heavily forested.

    I went inside a random church and there were beautiful paintings and sculptures dating back 400 ish yearsb
