Ok last post about the holiday (unfortunately I'm going to Prague soon so you'll have to endure more travel posts then) - this is about our second-last day in Milan

This time we drove up to Lake Garda where there are a few amusement parks next to it. It's sort of like Dreamworld/Movieworld/Wet n Wild/Seaworld at Gold Coast..but not as good (Haha!).

Still it was heaps of fun, we went to the waterpark, Aquaparadise which turned out to be really awesome especially in the blazing sun. Unfortunately I left my camera in the locker while we played so I barely have any photos of this place which looked so good with the blue waters and sandy pavements.

ANYWAY

I went on this crazy slide alone. As in literally alone because no one would come with me and the other girl who was waiting her turn with me chickened out!!

Found a vid on Youtube:




AWESOME ride is all I can say.. really scary at the start though especially when I was told to arch my back and 'make sure to keep your back pressed to the slide as much as you can' at the top

I love water parks <3
I had so much fun I want to go back!!!

And here it is again, turned into pizza

Apparently horse meat is a specialty in Verona
So we ordered this pizza, called Furia which is shredded horse meat and rocket pizza
LOVED It it was soooo yum

This was guinea fowl something - I can't remember what this wide flat pasta was called!
Anyhow it was absolutely deeeeeeeeelicious

Had it with fresh strawberry juice (YUM) which I had heaps off throughout the holiday - it's supposedly an old Italian dessert.

Having dinner there was one of the best nights ever
Sitting outside at night in the warm summer air and having great food.. while eyeing up the horses thinking how good they would taste on pizza.. only kidding..umm no not kidding actually HAHAHa.
