The bikes required a bit of repair before the long ride around the lake--especially after the boys had "tweaked" them the day before.
Aside from everything else, their favorite activities included naps (here just starting a marathon 3 hour one in Verona), the stand-on and squat john in Verona, and of course the girls whom they watched rather quietly through out. I told them that I'd pay for a gondola ride in Venice, but they had to find two girls to take along. Well, there weren't many sixteen year olds available--just lots of college girls and the boys weren't that brave.
