• Lake Como Boat Trip

    June 19, 2024 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

    We fluffed around Bellagio, waiting for our afternoon boat hire. We got there to find there had been a market all day that was packing up ... oops. Probably a good thing as we would have bought more stuff to carry.
    Had another three hour boat hire and it was once again glorious. We went to the other leg of Lake Como which was much less populated and had more rugged mountains - a bit more like Switzerland. Had a lovely afternoon drinking limoncello spritz and swimming in the lake. Bree dived in and lost her bather bottoms, and we laughed. Parents of the year. We are all debating which side of the lake is better but I think all of it, for different reasons.
    Saw something very strange. There was a lady in her 50s topless in a boat, not a care in the world. Trust me, she should have been wearing a top.
    We have all loved being on the lake to get away from the tourists and the "influencers".
    We have returned to the apartment to drink more prosecco, cook dinner and play Dean Martin music. I am not sure how tomorrow's 6am pick up will go.
