Bellagio - Lake Como - Italy - Backpacking - Public Buses - Charming


Bellagio is charming gorgeous and a perfect place to spend the afternoon.  Many many places to eat and rest adjacent to the lake.  From every direction everything looks like a postcard.  Benches all along the bay walk.  We took a train to Como and a public bus up to Bellagio.  I have determined that I truly enjoy the public buses.  Everyone was so kind and gracious.  The Rome2Rio app really was indispensable.  The app notifies you exactly which bus stop to get off at.  Perfect.  Our apartment was way up in the hills with a beautiful view of Bellagio.


The village of Bellagio besides numerous restaurants, there are plenty of shops.  We did look for George Clooney but we didn't spot him.



Everything is so dramatic with the mountains in the background.

But both heading in to Bellagio and leaving Bellagio my favorite part was the public buses.  I loved meeting everyone on the bus.

Lavertezzo Bridge - Switzerland - Brione Verzasca - Backpacking - Beautiful!!!

Image
This is another beautiful spot nestled in river valley below Brione.  We took a public bus from our apartment down the mountain to the village of Lavertezzo.  It was only a 15 min bus ride.  It is truly beautiful.  The river is a fantastic color, although a bit cold. It was one of our favorite spots during our trip.  Still can not believe we were there. Look at the stone work on the bridge.  Wow!! The village of Lavertezzo was also fun to walk through.  There were more tourists at this spot than at Brione. There were several more restaurants to eat at than in Brione.  The photo above was of the church very close to the bus stop.  Loved the public busses.

Venice Venice Venice - Love Venice - Budget - Wow

I just couldn't decide which photo to lead with.  So I decided on this one.  Followed by: Followed by this one: Venice was fantastic.  It has been two years since we were there and it is so unbelievably fun reliving it in blog form.  It was a perfect 2 month backpacking travel trip.  I would love to do it all again. Who knows I might be able to with my husband sometime. I was very nervous traveling to Venice and I'm not exactly sure why.  But I couldn't have been more surprised.  I loved Venice.  Everything about Venice.  The bridges, the people, the charm and the water.  I am someone who loves the water and here is a city literally build around the water.  Totally loved walking all over the city with a map in hand and a smile on my face. We went on the gondolas - the water taxis - a lot of foot bridges.  So very glad that I had a backpack and not a rolling suitcase.  Way too many steps.  Explore everywhere, stopping for coffee or a glass of wine.
