After a long drive through the Alps, where I suffered quite the bout of motion sickness, we arrived at Lake Como, which I believe is one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen (it ties with Santorini, Greece). I totally understand why George Clooney lives here for half a year. It's tucked away and very private. The people are friendly, the views are incredible, and of course the food is fantastic. We had dinner at a small pizzeria where we ate such treats as: marinated olives, bruschetta, proscuitto pizza, and a lemon almond tart for dessert. Holy cow, I was in heaven. And what made it even better was that surrounding the restaurant were tons of tomato and basil plants so when a summer shower hit while we dined on the back patio, the rain water hitting the plants make them release their perfume into the air. It was so fragrant it felt like I was swimming in tomatoes and basil!
Lake Como - we will for sure be back to visit you again.
(Attached is a quick snapshot of our breakfast, on a patio overlooking the lake. Coffee, juice, croissants with Nutella, yogurt, meat and cheese.)
