Lake Como {Varenna & Bellagio}

We knew being in Milan that we had so many great day trips at our fingertips, so we decided to take a day to head up to Lake Como, just a 1 hour train ride from the city.  We took the train to the city of Varenna where we quickly hopped on a ferry to spend the day across the lake in Bellagio.  We wandered around the streets, hiking up the small alleyways and checking out the local shops before stopping in to have lunch on the terrace at Ristorante Bilacus {where we had quite the laugh when Christian's meal came out pint sized compared to the rest of ours}.  We continued wandering back down the hill, stopping for a coffee before hopping back on the ferry to Varenna.  We had some time before our train back to Milan so we walked down the pathway along the water, stopping to check out the beaches and views before making our way up to the train to take us back to Milan.  It was such a fun day to get out of the city and check another place off my bucket list!
