We are back from 8 days on Lake Como in Italy. Wow! We understand why Clooney has a house there. The views are amazing! We had a whole floor of a house to ourselves above the town of Menaggio with a beautiful balcony overlooking the ferries travelling to Bellagio and Varenna. We spent our time overeating and reading, while the boys looked for lizards and bugs outside.
We visited a lot of little towns on the lake. Pizza seems to be the main dish unless you want seafood. Of course we stuffed ourselves with ice cream every day. It’s going to be salads for a week now that we are home.
We hopped over to Switzerland for a day, not realizing that it was a holiday and all shops were closed. The restaurants were open but it turned out that all we could afford was Burger King. They even charged extra money if you wanted a ketchup packet. I had to tell the kids, “Sorry kids, we can’t afford ketchup.” Must be a valuble commodity over there.
We were able to visit SwissMiniatur which is a little place with all of Switzerland done in miniature (you could have guessed that from the name). I spent a lot of time filming the lizards climbing over cars and houses. Dragon movie coming soon.
I think the pictures tell the rest of the story:
