Lago di Como I (uno)

So here we are, back from our Italian holiday. It was nice, but I think that Switzerland was a bigger hit for the kids. One more church or scenic view and we would have had a rebellion on our hands! Linda, Sacha and Soffian (my sis and her family) came along and it was great to hang out and have fun together. We have to plan another trip together again!

Anyway, it was absolutely beautiful and our house was great. We had a nice view of the lake (only 500 m away) and a private pool. The kids loved the pool, but it was cold. The day we arrived was horrific, with pouring rain almost the whole day. Sunday was beautiful, then we had another two days of rain and clouds. Finally, for our last few days, we had beautiful, sunny weather.

Here are a few photos from Day 2 (Sunny Sunday). We went to a city called Lenno and visited a villa known for its gardens. We go for walks on the woods quite often and it was strange to me to see woods with pam trees and ferns in them. The kids enjoyed running about and looking for lizards. We then took a water taxi from the villa back into town, a bit hit for the boys (all five of them!). We (they, I don't eat ice cream) had ice cream overlooking the water and everyone was happy.
