31 May A Beautiful Day in Lake Como
There was absolutely no better way to spend my final day in Italy than at the breathtaking and beautiful Lake Como. While many tourists may simply visit Lake Como just to see George Clooney’s house, I was instead preoccupid with the incredible views these towns had to offer.
We started the day with a train ride from Milan to Varenna. Figuring out how to find our train was confusing–it was a regional train station, whereas we had been accustomed to traveling the larger train stations–we found our way and began our journey. As soon as we stepped off the train, we were all taken aback by the gorgeous view of the Lake. Of course, the warm and sunnny weather only made it more beautiful and enjoyable.
We explored Varenna a bit and then took a brief boat ride to the adjacent town of Bellagio. This town not onlyl contained the same amazing views but also had great shopping, where my friends and I found some fun last-minute souvenirs to take home. We had some delicious pizza for lunch and then boarded the ferry for the last stop of our outing, the town of Como.
We spenda few hours just absorbing the beauty of this little town until it was time to take the train back to Milan. This was definitely the most relaxing day of our trip so far, and I learned that there is certainly something to be said about just sitting back and observing the world amidst all its chaos. While we had been running around for the past two weeks trying to see as much of Italy as we could, it was refreshing and therapeutic to just stop and take in Lake Como while also reflecting on everything we learned on the trip so far and how it has changed us
loo. Overall this was my favorite part of the trip and one of the most memorable.
