Verbania: D5 … A Ferry Ride

The car went for a ferry ride on Lago Maggiore today … and took us along, too.

Wanting to avoid the heavy traffic on the lakefront road heading south from Verbania and around the tip of the lake, we decided to take one of the ferries that ply the lake daily. When we couldn’t make the passenger-only ferry schedule work, we turned to the Servizio Traghetto, which regularly ferries vehicles between Intra and Laveno … a ride of approximately 20 minutes.

We had a beautiful, blue-sky day for our ride … especially in the afternoon. On the way to Laveno, we opted to enjoy the ride from the passenger deck. On the way back to Intra, we had a front row seat, which allowed us to enjoy the ride from the car … though I did hop out for some photos and videos.

Today turned out to be a photo-heavy day, which I am going to have to split into several footprints … starting with this footprint about today’s car ferry rides.Leggi altro
