Holiday time –

As of very early morning we are en route to Lake Garda to the historic beautiful Malcesine. The photo says it all. Our usual walking holiday, full of vigorous, high altitude, muesli-fortified, walking boot equipped, tyrolean hiking, this year gives way to the more sedate, leisurely lakeside walks and sails to and fro across the lake – ice cream, pizza, medieval castles, sunshine, shorts, ice cream, pizza, coffee shops, cable cars, open-decked ferries, sun cream, ice cream….and did I mention pizza???

Blogging suspended till I return to the real world – whatever else a holiday is it’s an alternative world….of ice cream, pizza……Aye. OK. I’ll stop talking about it. (Wonder what flavours, though…..and extra toppings…???)

We intend to include as many of the synonyms below as we can – and to prove the definition true.

Holiday definition: leisure time away from work devoted to rest or pleasure.
