Yesterday Alan and I left Venice, rented a car and drove to a 13th century castle in the Dolomite mountains. We slept in a room that was 800 years old, although the furniture were reproductions. What wasn't a fake was the extroidinary view of the mountains and the town of Pergine as we were 1000 feet up. It was an amazing experience. This morning we drove through one of the highest mountain passes in the Dolomites, Passo Del Tonale. We even saw snow capped mountains. The views were extraordinary. I took lots of photos of course.
We arrived in Verena, on Lake Como, in the late afternoon and although we got a flat tire while parking, we are so happy to be back in one of our favorite places. Since we will be taking ferries from now on, we decided to turn in the car. Our room overlooks the lake and the town. It is very peacefull and beautiful with amazing gardens. We just had a great dinner and we are both looking forward to spending the rest of our vacations on this lake. That's all for now, Love, Laura
