Scenic Route - Kate

We didn't write any posts about our time in Bulgaria. It was just a family holiday with lots of lazing around by a pool, overlooking the Black Sea in Sozopol. Not very Blogworthy. On our way back to Sofia we stopped in the lovely second city of Plovdiv.

A few pics from the spectacular gardens at Villa Melzi in Bellagio. What an amazing spot!

We had a fabulous day wandering around Bellagio on Lake Como today. More photos to follow from the beautiful gardens that need an IG post of their own.

Funny thing is when I Googled the town and what to do here, there were lots of online naysayers saying skip it, it's too touristy. But that would have meant us missing all of this.

I get it, some places are undoubtedly blighted by tourism. We have had our wrestles, as we know we are part of the problem. But some places are just too interesting or great to miss. Think Amsterdam, Lisbon or Venice.

Also some places (like here) just need planning. Midweek, shoulder season, get there early in the day. Your reward; you get to experience places that lots of people visit for a reason. Because the places are worth visiting.
We loved Bellagio, so glad we didn't skip it.

After looking at the forecast, we were thinking that our time in the Italian Lakes was going to be a complete wash out. Here's the faces of two people happy the sun came out today.

The rain took a day off and now I think we have one of the best views we have ever had from our front door in our 5 years of traveling.

Another day, another amazing place to stay. The weather is still not co-operating, but we're still happy to be on the shores of Lake Como.

The weather still is rainy here at Lake Orta, but last night on our walk home the clouds finally lifted enough to see proper mountains.

Soggy weather didn't stop us exploring the beautiful town of Orta San Giulio.

Today's excursion was the lovely town of Moncalvo for market day. We did some fabulous shopping and all the market vendors were so kind with our lack of Italian language skills. We scored some gigantic veggies and to die for cheese.
Followed by a visit to this spot to try some more Piedmont wine.

What a fabulous part of Italy this is.

Well we used to own the shiniest of shiny RVs (#airstream) but we are trying really hard to get some reflections with this one.
