Enchanting Charms of Lake Como

 Where Beauty Meets Tranquillity...

From Milan to the beautiful waters of Lake Como... we made it. After the confusing ordeal at Milan trying to figure out train tickets, we finally were on route. Lake Como was hillier than expected, although only took 10 minutes to walk down to the captivating waters where lies the boats just rocking away on the smooth lake. It was a cloudy day, but nonetheless the place was still breath-taking, it was like walking into a movie. 

We arrived pretty early at around 10am (we thought this ideal), well if I can offer any advice please go the earliest you can possible. We missed the boat that took us to Bellagio, which is meant to be the most picturesque part of the Lake... we did not let this put a dampness on our trip, so we decided to take an alternative boat which stopped off at a at around four different destinations. We decided to get off at a place called Torno, we did not regret it! The place gave an authentic feel of what old style Italy would've been like, pretty cafes and bars all lined up on the waterfront, small scenic boats, and interesting walks to take in the euphoric atmosphere.  

So, as we finish exploring Torno we sit outside this adorable café, on the plus side they also sold wine! While sipping on my wine at a swift speed, a thunderstorm elapsed from the sky, leaving us confused how to get back to the main area of Lake Como. A boat finally turned up to take us back (now in a thunderstorm on a tiny boat that could fit little than 20 people, it was a bit frightening!) The water was splashing into the boat, I remained calm because where else would I rather die than Lake Como? It just seemed fitting..

I am still very well alive to tell the tale, we got back into Lake Como safe (mostly) and sound, we walked around eating gelato, unfortunately did not bump into George Clooney..(one of my main reasons of visiting, jokes...maybe) but had a wonderful time all the same. I do recommend staying in Lake Como for at least a few nights, there is just too many areas to explore, I will be back to this remarkable place very hopefully in the near future and will share more updates, so please continue on this journey with me.
