Flag of Italy Menaggio, Italy
Saturday, September 8, 2007

So we are in Menaggio which is a small town on the shore of Lake Como. It is absolutely stunning!! The lake is clear and surrounded by mountains (smaller than the ones at home mind you). The people are much more friendly than any other Italian destination we have been to. Our hostel isnt perfect, but it's definitely at step up from the last one. So all-in-all, I love this place!! We arrived yesterday after taking a train from Milan to Verenna, followed by a ferry ride across the lake to Menaggio. We got to relax and then wander around the town and found a cute little restaurant for dinner. After that we made our way back to the hostel for some vino, music, sunset, and cards! It was spectacular!!

Tomorrow we leave the hostel in the early morning to make our way to Como to catch a train to the Malpensa Airport for our flight to Athens... I am sooooo excited about Greece!! I am totally ready to spend the rest of my trip relaxing on beachs and maybe doing a little bit of partying... responsibly of course (mom). We are hoping to rent some scooters on one of the Greek islands (or more) to see as much as we can... I've never riden a scooter though... wish me luck!!
