first stop: Bristol airport where we take turns to be
photographed. |
 |
Our flight is on time and takes just over 1 hour 30
mins. |
|
As we climb out of Bristol, its quite
clear and sunny. |
 |
Over most of the journey, however, it
was cloudy below. |
 |
 |
I think this is an engine thingy. Looks like it's had
a wee bend at the far end. |
 |
As we descend, some of the torrential wet stuff... |
|
Wind forward a few hours and we've
arrived at Bergamo for our short ferry crossing to Menaggio where Tony
and Mary are waiting for us. |
 |
within the hour, we are enjoying a
lovely meal in a restaurant near to chez Escott. |
 |
 |
finishing with a coffee and a delicious lemon
liqueur. |
 |
The following morning, I'm out early taking
photographs. Nothing new there then. This is
from the balcony of our apartment. |
|
The distant waterfall seen through an
early morning haze. |
 |
Our neighbour is doing some hazardous
tree pruning. |
 |
 |
Tony and Mary kindly give us breakfast each morning.
This is roll call! |
 |
Still plenty of snow on the mountain tops. |
|
This cool customer is part of Tony's
garden furniture.
Very Roman.
She is Hebe, cup bearer to the Greek Gods. You saw it
here first... |
 |
Many of the visitors and home owners
here are German. Here's a clue! |
 |
 |
This lovely church is around the corner. It's bells
wake us at 0730 each day. Yes, Sunday too. |
 |
looking down the lake towards Lugano which is, of
course, in Switzerland. |
|
Which happens to be our next port of
call. |
 |
The pedalos don't look too attractive on
this cold day in March. |
