Moving Day!

This morning the sun shone down on Lake Como, just as we were leaving! At least we saw its waters sparkling in the sunlight at last.
Our journey was to take us to Lake Maggiore for the second half of our trip.
We arrived in Pallanza at The Grand Hotel Majestic around lunchtime and had the afternoon free to explore the pretty little town and get our bearings.
This is certainly a Majestic hotel, as its name suggests. Our room was large and very well appointed with the great views overlooking the gardens and Lake Maggiore herself.
Lunch was enjoyed out in the sunshine and we wandered around the lakeshore promenade and the town in relaxed mode. In truth it was the first downtime we had had and by the looks of the itinerary are likely to have. The view over the lake to the snow covered Alps is beautiful and yet another reminder how close we are to Switzerland. Many workers live here and travel into Switzerland daily and I can see why. The lower cost of living and way of life are a constant attraction I would think. Half way through the afternoon we struck gold - yes, you’ve guessed it, a first class Gelateria! This will be first of daily visits I have no doubt!Læs mere
