Milan Day 2 – Driving Lake Como

Milan city was admittedly quite boring

So the next day we drove to Lake Como, which is located about an hour north-west of Milan. The lake is huge and shaped like an upside-down Y. Our first stop was Como town – south of the lake, on the west leg.

The night before we walked to a big supermarket and bought stuff for the trip:
– lots of juice (tomato, peach, pear)
– salami
– cheese
– bread
– crisps
– fruits
– muffins

and some other things I can’t remember

There was a Saturday market going on so we had a look
Realised that people around Milan love the colour purple??!

even the customer’s wearing purple pants!

After getting a drink at a tiny ‘cafe’ inside the market we started to drive north along the lake to get to a town called Cadenabbia (or something like that) where we could take a car ferry across to Bellagio (it’s situated in the middle of the lake, sorta).

On the way to Cadenabbia

We stopped a few times to take photos – HEAPS of photos!
Here are some!

I can’t even remember how long it took to get to Cadenabbia

Swimming pool!! AAAAAAh

(Is she staring at my tummy???)

The car ferry was fun!
The breeze was so refreshing on a blazing hot day
LOVE hot days

on the ferry

I packed this velcro ball toy thing that I got from Sainsbury’s and so we had a fun time playing with it we got so exhausted!

Then we went down really close to the lake and dipped our feet in the water
BEST feeling ever

Do I see pink panties? HA HA

Damn me and my dumb face here

Something really exciting happens after this

Got drenched!!!
The water was ice-cold!
And it was heaps of fun!!

Went down by the rocks to play with water again

Had really yummy ice cream here! 🙂

Took loads more photos but had to pick only these few to post or it’ll be a bit much..

Lecco

As the sun was setting it was time to drive down to the eastern leg of the lake, to a town called Lecco which really exceeded expectations as it wasn’t nearly as popular as all the other towns.

It was so lovely!
It reminded me a bit of Williamstown in Melbourne
Lots of restaurants and cafes lined the road by the lake

Love this photo!


My dinner!

Had a great meal followed by lots of gelato
Sat by the lake with swans eating it
PERFECT DAY
