Varenna - Lago di Como

Bought again a day-ticket for the boats,

this time went to Varenna

Varenna is located on the right bank of Lake Como

. Pedestrian way to the town centre
. Beautiful rowning boat
. Gallery of Franca Carzaniga
.One of the many doors of Varenna
. Extraordinary balcony connecting 2 buildings
.
Lunch at Vecchia Varenna

Sliced eggplant with tomato sauce and parmesan cheese
.

Not on the menu,

but asked if it was possible to have

a grilled lavarello

- yes, it was!
.

View of lake Como

from the restaurant
.
After lunch it was time to walk

up to the hill

to Castello di Vezio
.

Coble stoned way took up there,

first it was quite easy,

but as the people coming down told

it was getting steeper and steeper

- and again the weather was around 40C
.

Castello di Vezio
.

Took another way down

(shoudn't have done that!)
.

Steep, narrow, loose pebbles...
- quite an experience with flip-flops on
.

Passed this shrine on the way down

- someone had brought flowers there recently!
.

Almost made it,

still some meters to go
.

Varenna down there on the right corner
.
In Varenna had a threat

pistacchio & stracciatella home-made ice-cream
- lovely!
.

Town of Varenna

& Castello di Vezio

Couple of days on Lake Como

is not enought to explore the whole area of the lake,

asked if the hotel would have a free room for a couple of more days

- it was possible, so will stay a bit longer
