Bellagio..Lake Como..part 2..

10 comments

This was our favourite place to visit,a 10 minute ferry ride across the lake..so lovely,we went twice,so this will be the longest blog,as there was so much to see…so firstly,the view from the ferry..

Arrived,ready for walking..its a bit of a climb up one of the typical Italian narrow streets,but lots to look at ..and a coffee break,when we got to the top !

Suitably refreshed,we walked downwards again,on
another quaint street,with the shops..very upmarket,but lovely to look at..

This is the main square,with the church and bell tower.

and back to the promenade,to admire the view,backacross the Lake.

Right..best foot forward..upwards again! This time,we explored the other side of this pretty town..and my favourite..even though we walked further than we intended..and it was very warm..you always wonder what is round the next corner,don’t you ?but we were glad we did..at least it was flat, and wait till you see what I found !

Bottle brush plant.

I don’t know what this is,but it was lovely..I’m sure someone will know..

This is what we came across..a Garden centre!..
Of course I had to go in..loved all these pots…:o)

..and all the bedding plants..just like ours..

..except for these Lemon trees..

This was next door..the most beautiful well kept cemetry,I have ever seen..The stonework was amazing,and all the flowers were so fresh,and not a weed in sight.It seemed to be a very affluent area,judging by the quality of everything…and what an enterprising business person,to have a garden centre,next to it !

Onwards a bit more,and we turned off on to a road which led down to the other side of the lake.Russell wanted to go down to the bottom,but I declined,and sat on a wall..enough of up and down hills for me,so sat looking at this lovely house and garden..I wondered how much it would cost to buy ? no chance!..

Maybe this ?

Not even this!

Time to walk back to the ferry now,and watching the traffic,while we were waiting..some traffic !

Back to the hotel,and seeing as you have walked such a
long way,in the heat,I think you deserve a chill out time by the pool,and a cool drink.Then you can come back for
your evening meal..my treat..:o)

Come on in..

Just sit anywhere..rhere is plenty of room..

Feel better now ? Good.!
Next time,I will take you to the other two places,that were easily reached ,via the brilliant ferry service..Hope you have enjoyed it,so far..
