Off to Varenna on Lake Como

On the way from Venice this morning and not having a clue where we were going we met a couple from San Diego. (Aide memoire: he said he was a reasonably famous playright who we could have heard of: this will be checked out later on and if true I intend boasting about how we met this famous playwright.... etc. etc. ad nauseum). Varenna is a good place they said. So here we are munching on chicken legs and tiramisu after a hard afternoon walking up hills and down dales..... with mum holding on to me like grim death!



Nice as it is; it's extremely refined so probably not the best place for (me at least) to stay for longer than a night. So we'll take a boat to Como and pick up a train to somewhere in Switzerland for the next three days.



This one shows the wonderful birthday present from you mob which I originally thought was unnecessary. It's blooming freezing here at 17 degrees C so thanks daughters.







Oh aye: here's the sossidge rolls.
