      Travel Day to Como

      3 Nisan 2023, İtalya

      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 ?

      Como v2: Day 1

      4 Nisan 2023, İtalya ⋅ ☁️ 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.

      Côme

      20 Ağustos 2023, İtalya ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

      Nous retournons sur Côme, un peu frustrés de n'avoir pu presque faire que le funiculaire la dernière fois.
      Nous mangeons dans une sorte de foire un super burger et auguste une petite saucisse frites. Visite de la cathédrale splendide et de la basilique. Petit tour en ville et nous finissons la journee comme dhabitude par une petite baignade dans le lac pendant qu'Auguste s'est endormi dans sa poussette. Le spot n'est pas fou, fréquenté par des jeunes avec musique à fond et c'est plutôt un ponton qu'une plage mais bon ça fait l'affaire pour la fin de journée !Okumaya devam et

      Lake Como

      19 Temmuz 2022, İtalya ⋅ ☀️ 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!)

      Cruising Lake Como

      27 Eylül 2022, İtalya ⋅ ☀️ 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.

      Como

      26 Eylül 2022, İtalya ⋅ ⛅ 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.Okumaya devam et

      Mignon on the Lake, Como

      29 Eylül 2022, İtalya ⋅ 🌧 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.

      Como day 2

      16 Mart 2023, İtalya ⋅ ☀️ 13 °C

      Today, we slept in from jet lag. Andrew and I went to Franci’s school and observed his class. We were asked by the teacher to answer questions about our school in Texas. It was kinda boring, because the Q&A could have been more fun, but I felt like the teacher cut us off. After Franci’s class, we went to Vitto’s class for 1 hour. Then, we met up with Tommi and we got panninos. Panninos or as we call them in America, a Panini, are warm pressed sandwiches. I got mozzarella and prosciutto. We also got a Nutella crepe for later. My dad came and got us gelato before dropping the boys off at tennis practice. I went home and relaxed with my mom. After tennis practice, we met up with everybody to say “Arrvideci!”
      The boys are off to a ski race over the weekend. We ate dinner at home and caught up on a few episodes of Outer Banks. Ciao, Renee

      Abendessen in Como

      26 Mart 2023, İtalya ⋅ ☁️ 10 °C

      Seeluft macht ja bekanntlich hungrig, also machen wir nach unserem Abstecher an den Comer See einen Stopp im Restaurant " Locanda Barbarossa" wo wir einen sehr angenehmen Abend mit köstlicher Pizza und (wir könnte es anders sein) einer Flasche Pinot Noir verbringen... eigentlich sollte man jetzt einfach weiter fahren, anstatt morgen den Weg nach Hause anzutreten...Okumaya devam et

      Salorino-Chiasso-Como

      11 Ağustos 2021, İtalya ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C

      Meine letzte Etappe brach an. Da es heiss werden sollte, startete ich sie schon relativ früh am Morgen, um die kühleren Stunden zu nutzen.

      Von Salorino aus, wo mein Ferienstudio ist, wanderte ich los. Durch den Wald nach Castel San Pietro, wo ich auf den "richtigen" Wanderweg hätte treffen sollen. Leider war aber ein Stück wegen einem Hangrutsch gesperrt, so dass ich kurz der Strasse nachlaufen musste. Von da an ging es gut vorwärts, durch Wälder und Dörfer (eines hiess "Lattecaldo") bis zur Kirche San Martino, wo ich die Aussicht genoss. Nun ging es bergab und ich kam schon bald in Chiasso an, meinem Endziel dieser Wanderung.

      Da es noch früh war, beschloss ich, zum südlichsten Punkt der Schweiz weiterzuwandern. Der Weg führte tief in den Wald, bis ich plötzlich auf einen Grenzzaun stiess. Ich ging ihm ein paar Schritte entlang und erreichte die Markierung des südlichsten Punktes. An einer Stelle des Zaunes gab es einen Durchgang, um auf die italienische Seite zu gelangen. Ich entschied, bis Como weiterzuwandern. So lief ich noch etwa zwei Stunden durch den Wald, eine steile Strasse hinunter und unter einer Autobahn hindurch, bis ich am Comersee angelangt war. Dem See entlang erreichte ich das Zentrum rasch. Die Stadt anschauen mochte ich aber nicht mehr, nach 8 Stunden wandern. Darum setzte ich mich in den Schatten, genoss die herrliche Aussicht und fuhr dann mit dem Zug zurück nach Mendrisio.
