In this episode:

We get connected with our Italian sim card from Tim Cellular, then head over to Mototouring to pick up Pepe` our trusty Suzuki V Strom.  We print out our “Green Card” insurance document and head out, only to have to return to the storage unit to fix a leaky fork seal!

With Pepe now operating satisfactorily we head out again, only to discover that the battery is quickly failing and we need a new one ASAP!  With a  few hand gestures and miming we get directions to a motorcycle parts store only to  rediscover the store hours of Italy.  You would think we would know this by now!

As we continue along we pass by the resort area of Sirmione on Lago di Garda.  We didn’t stop  as we were there last year and so  continue on to check out Garda Land amusement park.  It was super busy so we just looked and left!  I am not one for crowds (Glen).  We got to our first hotel (La Groletta) and enjoyed a good sleep as the jet lag was kicking in big time.  The next day we stopped at the Sanctuary Madonna della Corona, which is a church hanging on the side of a cliff, then went back to the lakeside road for a nice easy ride and lunch in Torbole.  The final leg of the day we headed northeast up through Trento, passing Castel Beseno ( a must stop if you are in the area) before ending the day at Hotel Latemar, near the town of Cavalese. Tomorrow, the Dolomites!
