Our sleep last night wasn’t good..very noisy here at Casa Fortuna, but after a nice brekky prepared by Teziano we went off to catch a train to Varenna. The weather wasn’t on our side and neither were the trains from Lecco. Apparently the boats to other areas in Lake Como run from 1st June from Lecco…so a train it had to be!
As usual there was no easy way to find out which platform etc but we’ve been lucky to get info from other travellers..so we waited on platform 3 for 1.5 hrs till the 11am train came….don’t know what happened to the 10am one…maybe coz there was maintenance on the rail track??
Whipper snipper the grass on the track
No info on the boards
….better late than never and the weather was improving…
20 minutes later and we were at Varenna…beautiful.
Crossing the narrow platforms across the tracks to exit
Lunch at restaurant in the local Piazza. Great service and nice food.
After exploring the alleys of Varenna we hopped on a ferry to Bellagio..Another beautiful place
On the way back to Lecco from Bellagio by bus, the views were spectacular. The photos don’t do it justice
We then tried to find this restaurant in Lecco that was recommended..long walk later we come to Giovinini
Friendly staff
Tasty food
Hardly anything on the plate and overpriced. What happened to good old traditional Italian food and servings?? We were in shock that we didn’t even take a photo to prove it …but the beer was nice!!
All in all a long, beautiful day.. Very grateful that the weather improved and we were able to have this adventure.
