| In good weather, you can get some pretty good views when flying across Europe. Of course, in cloudy weather you just get a big boring white sea! |

Home for the week. |
The Villa Aminta |
Cute car often parked outside! |
| Views from the hotel's front garden. | ||
|
Night views of the hotel.
And out across the lake at Isole Bella |
||
| Sitting on the lake front in Stresa town center... | ...relaxing and enjoying and ice-cream. | |
|
Isole Bella and Isole Superiore di Pescatori
as seen from the Lago Maggiore ferry service. |

| Views of Isole Bella | ||
| A garden of sculptures by Helidon Xhixha | ||
| Castello Sforzesco | |||
| Il Duomo | |||
| The gardens of Villa Taranto |
|
And then back to Isole Madre.
Home of the Borromeo family mansion, a peculiar menagerie (including the obligatory white peacocks) and plenty more gardens. |
| This was a 7 mile walk up Mt. Mottorone that became a 14 mile expedition with hail storms, vertical and/or non-existing paths, a hostel that had stopped serving meals (although it was an unexpected bonus anyway!). |
| All good fun :-) | |||
| The Swiss Alps | |||
