Have Fun Storming the Castle

Castello de Vezio exceeded expectations. Not only mine, but all four of us.

We expected ruins. And yes, these were ruins, but with plenty still intact including an outer wall and a castle tower (known as "A Keep"), complete with a draw bridge.

We got to climb the Keep to the top and enjoy the fabulous views.

At each stage of the tower, weapons, armor, flags and the like were displayed. I could not help but think of the boys as I looked at the weapons.

The ruins were great, but in such Italian style, the grounds were impeccably manicured.

Then to top it all off, we went there to enjoy an aperitif. Again exceeding expectations. The presentation was beautiful. The flavors were some of the best so far, and the portions... simply too much. We expected to tease our appetites, it was dinner with leftovers.

We had so much fun, there will be several footprints to house all the photos.Read more
