Varenna- Lake Como and the REAL Bellagio

Sorry about the duplicate photos from Lake Lugano... I need blogger support.






















Lugano pizza- Check out this pizza… People order ONE pizza per person… even 5 year old children order their OWN pizza. So far, we’ve only shared a pizza between us…. You know how little we both eat. AND… they do NOT cut the pizza into triangles. They use a fork and knife and eat a small piece at a time… like a steak. Norm is inspired to make pizza for you’al when we get back. Joni gave Norm a great pizza recipe which he is excited to try out. The greens on top of the pizza are rocket… a bitter green like watercress but more bitter. It’s delicious.

Varenna- Lake Como
Dinner on the terrace of our hotel. We dined on the terrace at 7:30 PM as the sun was going down behind the mountains.













For dessert Norm ordered the cheese plate on pear bread.












Breakfast also on the terrace of our hotel. My breakfast has consisted of the following: Two pieces of bread topped with salami and cheese, café latte, yogurt and fresh fruit, croissant. Yup… it’s a bit more than I usually eat… but got to get my daily calcium. Not doing too bad, eh?


Bellagio- We took a day trip on the ferry to Bellagio…NO... not Las Vegas, but the real Bellagio on Lake Como. If you’ve seen Oceans 12, there are scenes from George Clooney’s estate in Bellagio. It’s a beautiful town, but full of tourists. The view, though, is not too shabby, eh?
