(This picture mysteriously shrank.) We hiked up a few miles into the mountains in Lake Como for some incredible overlooks.
The lake climate is amazing and it is just breath-taking everywhere you look. Sprawling gardens, beautiful hiking trails, balconies built high into the mountainside. Everyone here seems relaxed... there is no car traffic and you couldn't hurry somewhere if you tried.
This is the view from our hotel room balcony in the early evening. Can you see what we didn't want to leave?
Italy Stop #2: The Cinque Terre. Gorgeous! We hiked some trails and would have been content to do so for days and days.
We didn't want to leave our Cinque Terre village, either. Our little loft hotel room is in the upper part of this cliff sticking out into the ocean. Talk about a room with a view!

It almost doesn't seem right how beautiful it is!! Sigh....my beloved Italy....
So beautiful! We had originally planned to go to Europe before having kids...I guess we'll see when we'll finally make it. So glad you got to go!
Wow! I was never one to care much about Europe...but I may change my mind. Those pictures are incredible!
Germany was great a couple of months ago, but I CAN'T WAIT to go back to Italy. You'll have to fill us in on how your itinerary went if we get to go in a couple of years.
