ITALIA como and bellagio
having a base in milano with my relatives has been really convenient, as it has allowed me to make so many day and weekend trips! i have been wanting to visit lake como since i got into europe, so this was the perfect opportunity with it being less than an hour away. the day we left was such a hot day and perfect for a boat ride on the lake!
i loved it because the lake and its surroundings are so pretty and green. . .just like lake washington. i find myself missing trees and water when i am inland for too long. itsuki (my cousins’s friend) and i got to como and then boarded a boat to the town of bellagio. the town was alright. haha kind of anticlimactic since i was expecting some grand town donald trump-style. two months into my europe trip i find myself less impressed with similar architecture and cobble-stoned streets. the setting of bellagio is picturesque and especially pretty when you arrive by water, but the town was much smaller than expected. it actually turned out to work in our favor since we did not want to be walking around so much in the heat, and were able to walk through it in less than an hour. my highlight of the day? lounging in the grass overlooking the lake was drinking some refreshing ice tea!
