Monday was a glorious day of 85 degrees sunshine filled skies. We decided to pack a little picnic lunch of bread, cheese, honey, pesto, salami, and wine and go down into town to rent a boat for the afternoon so we could tour the lake and maybe take a dip. Laura and I agree that it was pretty much the best day ever.
Lunch is served. No fancy linen table clothes,
I have always LOVED wooden power boats! This was not our rental and thank god it wasn’t for sale either. Could it have been more right for me??
The town of Menaggio is about 15 minutes north along the west coast of the lake. It is just a bit more ‘touristifed’ than we were looking for as a base but is certainly a wonderful place to visit.
These two young ladies are waiting for one of the pedestrian ferry boats that service the lake and can take you “town hopping” throughout the day. Lunch here, wine over there, afternoon gelato down the shore, dinner over in Belaggio, and home after dark. Sign me up!!
This place didn’t even make the guide book. Accesible by boat or foot brifge only. No nosey neighbors and darn little grass to worry about.
The upstairs party plaza has a wonderful view in both direction up and down the lake.
The side patio for lunch and sunbathing.
This little bungalow had wonderfully sculpted gardens and the covered porch or loggia, that was spectacular. What a place for a party!
oh yeah.
So – did you buy the country home? We’d love a vacation destination!
not fair…
