Well today was a fabulous day! J We woke up around 8am to get
ready, eating our ‘included’ breakfast (where I had AMAZING black tea by
Twinings) and then headed again to Milano Centrale Station. Our goal. Lake Como the grandeur.
To say this place is amazing would be a crime at
description. It was absolutely gorgeous. Apparently a few actor/actresses live
here in their spare time.
We started out in the town of Varenna.
The sun here was mild and it was mostly an overcast day. It
was all along the Lake. Gorgeous. Peaceful. The breeze was frequent and
welcome.
This is the first town we’ve been to and encountered the
ADORABLE alleyways. They are filled with stairs though and we were a little
winded after a couple ….er… a lot of flights. Haha
We also ran into a few stray cats. They’re eyes were very
bright? It’s the only world I can think of to describe them right now.
After running around we then went to one of the local
restaurants to eat. Where Sindy and I tried to draw Fred’s likeness for fun.
Haha. I think I did pretty good for a 10 min time frame.
Food as always, delicious.
After eating we decided to head onto a ferry to visit one of
the other towns on Lake Como, Bellagio.
The town here was WAY larger and had a lot more tourists. We
had more shenanigans and discovered a shop with hand made wood goods. The
crafter was making things as we shopped even. I didn’t get anything but Fred
and Alex did.
We then wondered around and took a whole bunch more pictures
of the Lake as the sun set.
I’m fond of these smaller towns, the ones where you can
still see the original architecture and the charming quaintness. This is where
people fall in love with Italy.
P.S. We also discovered that Sindy is bad at navigation and
geography… see exhibit A:
Oh yea…. It’s not to scale but you get the…..idea…. LOL
Ciao!~
