Hi Everyone,
Today I traveled to Varenna in Lake Como. It's really beautiful here!
I was scheduled to take a boat tour of the lake which visits Villa di Balbianello, but my boat tour was cancelled because it's raining today. The rain may have ruined my plans for the one day I'm in Lake Como, but Harold and I decided to make the best of things. We splurged on lunch with a view of the lake,
and got a day pass for the ferry and made our own boat tour out to the Villa. Villa di Balbianello has been used in some famous movies, Casino Royal, and Star Wars Episode 2. Yes, that was the main reason I wanted to see it. I was lucky that is was so close to the only hostel on Lake Como.
There was enough of a break in the clouds that I got my Star Wars photo before starting a guided tour.
During the tour it started raining again, and it was still raining after the tour, pouring in fact. I still took a rainy selfie in the gardens,
but stepped in a puddle and soaked my shoes. It made for an uncomfortable walk back to the ferry station, and an uncomfortable wait for the next ferry. I decided to stay at the hostel for the evening and have dinner while my clothes attempt to air dry. It's a good thing I pack a clothesline! The view from my hostel is amazing, especially at night.
