Drifting Lake Como

Day 2 and were combing over a few small towns, ferry hopping between Menaggio, Bellagio and Varenna for a full day of enjoying Lake Como. This area is really enticing and we’re loving the pace here. A beautiful place to gelato the afternoon away. I love the gardens here. 

Art, food, gardens… my kind of vibe

Great place for drifting

Looking out over Lugano

We’re enjoying the easy pace of the lakes and mountains, staying between Lakes Como and Lugano. After a hot drive from Milan, the air here is refreshing and the views even better. We spent a full day exploring Lake Lugano, nipping into Switzerland for an afternoon stroll. It feels very ordered here, and serene. The scenery is magic.

Time for iced coffee

Our accommodation… a huge lawn for deer and foxes to feed at dusk. High up in the hills.

Days in The Dolomites

Driving from Venice into The Dolomites region was amazing, with mountains as far as the eye can see. We’re here for 2 nights staying in the tiny town of Ziano do Fiemme. It’s a good base for exploring and really peaceful. Much needed after the big cities and good to get away from the crowds.

Great place for a picnic

Rolling hills like a postcard

The towns are colourful 

Getting back to nature

Verona Verona

In Verona for the day while staying just out of Venice. It’s a cute place, we loved it here. No wonder it’s the city of love… a little Romeo and Juliet vibe no less. Lovely. 

Verona Arena

Famous balcony I believe 

Ver… nice, Venice

A day in Venice… very nice, very nice.

Rialto Bridge 

So much of everything everywhere
