Perfect Day

Despite being unable to sleep due to the church chimes at 7am; there is pleasant start to the day, when the smell of freshly baked croissants is wafting through the air and the sun is flickering off the calm waters of Lake Como.. A perfect start to a perfect day.

Today we are going to explore Lake Como, there is a ferry boat a short walk from our hotel, so an ideal way to get around. Its a lazy day today, and time to slow the pace somewhat from the mad sight seeing of the last week. In fact in this place, you can't help but slow down, it is instantly relaxing and the scenery all around breath taking.

We sit and have a cappuccino by the Ferry and watch the chaos of Italian organisation ! It is quite amusing.

We visited various places along the lake, all little villages, with small cobbled streets and all very charming.

From all the places we visited our favourite place was Bellagio which was very beautiful. You can visit Villa's that are open to the public that have fantastic gardens, or mountain walking, but we were just happy taking in the views.

The sun has been shining all day, the boat trips were great and just enjoyed exploring at a leisurely pace.... A perfect day of rest.

Tomorrow the heat is turned up a notch as we head to Milan.... ( for a little shopping trip !! )
