      Como v2: Day 1

      April 4, 2023 in Italy ⋅ ☁️ 7 °C

      Andrew and I slept in while our parents went to go get breakfast. They got us chocolate and crème filled donuts. Then, we got ready and drove around Lake Como, stopped for lunch in Ossuccio, which was very pretty. We had a table right on the water. We were there for about 1hr and 45mins. We then drove back to Como and and went to the store to buy groceries and some candy for Franchi. It’s his party’s today. Then we went to the party. There were all of Franchis classmates, snacks and cake. Andrew and I had fun. After the party, we walked to a barber shop to check it out and see if they spoke English. Andrew wanted to make sure they were young barbers. Dad and Andrew are going to get haircuts tomorrow. On the walk back Mom and Dad decided to stop for apertivo, so Andrew and I went back to the apartment. When Mom and Dad came back, Dad made Andrew and I burgers, which turned out awesome! Mom and Dad went out to eat dinner. My Dad had some work calls so Mom worked on plans for Easter weekend.

      Travel Day to Como

      April 3, 2023 in Italy

      Travel days are the worst days for us. We don’t have a place to eat lunch, we don’t really have a plan, the toll plazas and roundabouts are confusing….Uggh. We are hangry and frustrated. Then we get to Como and everything settles down and relaxes.
      On our drive from Modena to Como, we were going to go to Verona but decided not to because the wine festival they were having was going to be really crowded. So we stopped in Piacenza. It’s surrounded by a wall and what used to be a moat. The moat is now covered with grass and flowers. The blossom trees are blooming along our dive. I need to get some photos of the beautiful trees. We made a quick stop in Milan to pick up my new credit card at FedEx. Chase used to not charge foreign exchange fees but now they are. So I needed another card to use.
      Today is Franchi’s 10th birthday. We met the family and some of their friends for dinner at a pizzeria on the side of the lake. It was really good. I should of taken advantage of the fish on the menu and ordered something different. I did have a poke bowl for lunch. Tomorrow, Franchi is having a birthday party after school. The kids were excited to see them today.

      On the next episode of Euro Laundry Struggles - this washing machine is very different. It has a stainless steel drum inside that you close and it locks. I washed a few things on the shortest cycle and the drum lock wouldn’t release. I had to call the owner and ask for help. Now the clothes smell like mildew. Why do I keep doing this to myself ?

      Auf nach Como

      March 26, 2023 in Italy ⋅ 🌧 13 °C

      Nach einem netten Abend am Lagerfeuer und einer durch die Zeitumstellung kurzen Nacht müssen wir heute schon wieder ein Stück nach Norden fahren.

      Da wir noch eine Nacht Zeit haben, legen wir noch einen Stopp in Como ein, wo wir heute Abend noch nett essen gehen wollen.

      Kurz vor Como fängt es an, zu regnen - gut, daß wir in den letzten Tagen etwas Sonne tanken konnten.

      Wir nehmen dieses Mal den Stellplatz direkt im Ort, der nicht wirklich idyllisch aber dafür sehr praktisch gelegen ist.      Read more

      COMO

      March 19, 2023 in Italy

      Heute ist Sonntag, Johann schaut sich den Grand Prix an und danach gehen wir abends nach Como in die Stadt. Wir stehen nahe dem Bahnhof auf einem Stellplatz und für 24 Stunden parken bezahlt man 4 €. Interessant ist es, in der Stadt kann man kostenlos für 30 Minuten ein Fahrrad benutzen. Der Dom hat leider abends geschlossen, seine Öffnungszeiten sind von 10:30 Uhr bis 17:30 Uhr.Read more

      Como

      March 14, 2023 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C

      Auch mit dem Schiff hatten wir Glück, denn wir mussten gerade mal eine Viertelstunde auf das Boot warten. Die Fahrt kostete 1,30€ pro Person und Fahrt, ja, in Italien sind die "Öffentlichen" noch erschwinglich, auch wenn das ein Schiff ist.

      Como ist eine nette kleine Stadt am südlichsten Punkt des Comer Sees. Wir bummelten einige Zeit durch die engen Gassen der Fußgängerzone, bestaunten einige schöne Bauten, die beiden Türme der Stadtmauer und dann natürlich den gewaltigen Duomo.

      Ein Glas Wein auf dem schönen Platz vor dem Hafen konnten wir in der hier schon warmen Nachmittagssonne genießen, ehe es mit dem Schiff wieder zurück nach Tavernola und dann zu unserem Stellplatz hoch ging.

      Lake Como

      July 19, 2022 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 33 °C

      Vandaag ga ik naar Lake Como!
      Lake Como is de minder bekende variant van het Garda meer, maar moet zeker niet minder mooi zijn.

      De reis van Verona naar Como is 3 uurtjes.
      Deze reis begin ik pas om 11:30, omdat ik de rest van de ochtend met kamergenootjes koffie heb zitten drinken in Verona.

      Om 14:30 kom ik aan in mijn hostel en besluit ik eindelijk eens een wasje te draaien
      Momenteel ben ik dagelijks kleding in de wasbak aan het wassen, omdat ik een daadwerkelijke was al een poos heb uitgesteld.

      Om 17:00 ben ik klaar met het draaien van de was en kan ik eindelijk daadwerkelijk wat gaan doen.
      Ik ben het dorp Como in gegaan. Como is een typisch Italiaans dorp, met de bekende architectuur welke je in Italië verwacht.

      Het is momenteel wellicht niet zo warm als in Nederland, maar 34 graden voelt toch echt als een sauna.
      Hierom besluit ik een ijsje te halen. Hier betaal ik €2,50 voor. Een prijs waar je in Nederland alleen maar van kan dromen.

      Om 19:30 besluit ik zelf te gaan koken. En wederom is dit pasta.

      Ik merk dat de mensen in het hostel mij dit keer niet zo aanspreken. Hierom besluit ik de rest van de avond met een wijntje op het balkon een boek te gaan lezen
      (Een keer een dag alleen is natuurlijk ook niet erg!)      Read more

      Cruising Lake Como

      September 27, 2022 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 13 °C

      Today was our first of five days in Como and thankfully the weather was amazing, as the forecast for the rest of our time here is not the best. Our visions of spending every day on the ferry cruising Lake Como probably won’t come to fruition so we made the most of what might be our one and only sunny day.

      We spent the day cruising Lake Como, admiring the beautiful lakeside villages. What amazed us about the homes around the lake was the range of styles of homes, from the run down to the over the top expansive villas - one extreme to the other - and no doubt, none that we could afford.

      We even cruised past George Clooney’s place, which by the way isn’t at Bellagio but a small village 22km away called Laglio. We told him we were just too busy to drop in.

      It was the perfect weather for a day on the lake.      Read more

      Como

      September 26, 2022 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C

      After a big day travelling and catching up with the Sydney boys we finally made our way to Como, our home on the lake for the next five days.

      While finding our apartment and apartment keys wasn’t as easy as it should have been, we love our home for our time here. And it is nice to be back walking the streets of Como with so much more time to explore it all.Read more

      Mignon on the Lake, Como

      September 29, 2022 in Italy ⋅ 🌧 15 °C

      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
