Milan Day 2 - Lake Como

//picture heavy - 30 total // edit: someone asked me where my sunnies are from - they're from New Look!

Milan city was admittedly quite boring
(as is this post if you're only interested in what I wear and stuff like that)

So the next day we drove to Lake Como, which is located about an hour north-west of Milan. The lake is huge and shaped like an upside-down Y. Our first stop was Como town - south of the lake, on the west leg.

The night before we walked to a big supermarket and bought stuff for the trip:
- lots of juice (tomato, peach, pear)
- salami
- cheese
- bread
- crisps
- fruits
- muffins

and some other things I can't remember

There was a Saturday market going on so we had a look
Realised that people around Milan love the colour purple??!

even the customer's wearing purple pants!

After getting a drink at a tiny 'cafe' inside the market we started to drive north along the lake to get to a town called Cadenabbia (or something like that) where we could take a car ferry across to Bellagio (it's situated in the middle of the lake, sorta).

On the way to Cadenabbia

We stopped a few times to take photos - HEAPS of photos!
Here are some!

I can't even remember how long it took to get to Cadenabbia











Swimming pool!! AAAAAAh






(Is she staring at my tummy???)

Bellagio

The car ferry was fun!
The breeze was so refreshing on a blazing hot day
LOVE hot days <3>

on the ferry

I packed this velcro ball toy thing that I got from Sainsbury's and so we had a fun time playing with it we got so exhausted!

Then we went down really close to the lake and dipped our feet in the water
BEST feeling ever

Do I see pink panties? HA HA


Damn me and my dumb face here



Something really exciting happens after this



Got drenched!!!
The water was ice-cold!
And it was heaps of fun!!

Varenna

From Bellagio we took another car ferry to a little town called Varenna, ending up on the east side of the lake. Having a car was so convenient because we drove farther up north and ended up at a park/green by the lake and it was so beautiful!

There were people sprawled all over
And boats and people swimming and a cafe

Went down by the rocks to play with water again

Had really yummy ice cream here! :)

Took loads more photos but had to pick only these few to post or it'll be a bit much..

Lecco

As the sun was setting it was time to drive down to the eastern leg of the lake, to a town called Lecco which really exceeded expectations as it wasn't nearly as popular as all the other towns.

It was so lovely!
It reminded me a bit of Williamstown in Melbourne
Lots of restaurants and cafes lined the road by the lake






Love this photo!


My dinner!

Had a great meal followed by lots of gelati
Sat by the lake with swans eating it
PERFECT DAY

Next post definitely an outfit one ;)
