There & Back Again – A Traveler's Tale

We had a wonderful day visiting a few wineries. First we visited ColleMassari near Montalcino and the visited an old favorite; Poliziano near Montepulciano. Both were wonderful!

We spent the day in beautiful Varenna today. What a pretty little town! We had a great lunch with an incredible view.

Bill ordered Spaghetti Bolognese the other night but they ran out. We went back again today and the chef took care of Bill!

We took the ferry over to Bellagio for the day, had lunch in a cafe on the water and then wrapped up the day with dinner at a new place in Menaggio; La Grolla on a beautiful Terrace overlooking the Lake.

We arrived in Milano and picked up our extra large vehicle; a Fiat Ducato. Bill drove us to Varenna and then we took the Ferry across to Menaggio. The Grand Hotel is very nice and Menaggio welcomed us with a nice fireworks display! The city is packed with Italian vacationers but we were able to get dinner at a new restaurant; La Conca. We were surprised to see an old friend in our waiter. Years ago he worked at another favorite restaurant of ours.

We flew into Zurich and enjoyed our first day trying to stay awake, eating bratwurst, fondue and chocolate. Today we are on the train to Milano then on to Lake Como.
