Lake Como

Two buskers on a street in Como

 Pindah hotel..this one right in the middle of Como
(bilik not as nice as Palace but location is superb)

 Lake Como in the morning from my Palace Hotel room

 artistic tak? The Duomo Cathedral at the Plaza,
kurun 13 atau 14 (medieval)..but typical of Gothic-Renaissance architecture, no?

 a corridor at the Palace

 Como busker

 at dinner this evening

 Como in the morn from my window

 didn't buy anything from the street market.Pekan Ahad Raub lagi interesting.Byk barang dari China

from my Palace window again

 Lake Como in the evening (my window view)

 part of the hotel we are at (it was a villa hundreds of years ago but no ghost, said the receptionist when I asked)

 The Palace Hotel (I like)

 Lake Como and half a moon

 A restaurant by luck (nak pi tempat lain, tutup.Dapat yang ini)

 fish. spaghetti, seafood and salato

 half a moon, cloud, mountain.And lake.

 cantik juga

 George Clooney ada villa kat Lake Como
 tenang

From the boat I was in


We took the fast train from Venice's closest train station to Milan (about 3 hours.Make sure you choose 1st class coach cos' selamat dan they serve drinks onboard).From there (Milan Centrale) we changed train to Como to get to our hotel by the lake (lake view!)

Lake Como ni over-rated I think..but Hollywood stars ramai ada villas kat sini.It has many lakes but the one hour tour we took tak la secantik Queenstown in NZ I thought..the only difference is..here it's easy life, not too commercialised.Slow moving.Relaxing again.But I still prefer Venice cos' my city tu got everything in one: shopping, canals, arts.

Besok we have more exciting activities but let it be a surprise as I pun terkejut sendiri. :)
