Mignon on the Lake, Como

Today the weather had no idea what it was doing and neither did we. It was fine enough to venture out for a walk around the lake (just the Como end, not the full lake) and on the way we decided to sit and have a very late breakfast. One great advantage about staying in places longer is that we have more time to just wander the streets and laneways and we have come across some lovely piazzas, cafe precincts, and stores.

Our plan of a late breakfast turned into lunch after looking at the menu filled with enticing food and drinks. I tried a new cocktail called Hugo, which I hope to replicate once we get home. Delicious!!

The weather turned while we were eating so instead of a stroll around the lake we opted for a brief walk around the streets before heading back to our apartment as the rain started. The sun then shone again and as we thought about heading out once more, the dark clouds rolled in. We ended up with a lazy afternoon in, reading a book while being entertained by a busker with his accordion below our apartment window. Not a bad way to spend the day.Read more
