Day off in Riva

Beach, Old Town, and Gelato of Course!

Today was a relaxing off the bike day. We explored the old town, sat on the beach watching sailboats, had yummy gelato, and walked the beach again after dinner. A wonderful way to unwind after 6 days on the bike. Tomorrow we leave for Desenzano our next bike tour location.

The fortress in Riva del Garda now the Museo Alte Garda
