Saw a few old motorcycles this morning as we boarded our boat for Varenna...very cool! View from our outdoor cafe where we had lunch today in Varenna The pier at Varenna
Small streets...it's wild watching cars (and buses) passing each other on these roads. Glad I'm not driving! Starting our climb to the top of the mountain where the ruins of Castello di Vezio Funny hiking sign on the path
Welcome to Perledo...still climbing our way to the castle Small church and bell tower close to the medieval castel Large owl at the castle
View from the top...definitely worth the climb!
One of the remaining towers Another defensive tower Inside the fortress walls
Enjoying the view Ah, ciao bella! Love how the shadow of the tower almost matches up with the with the walls
View from the central watchtower looking down at the walls The main watchtower of Castello di Vezio
The little hump of land closest to you in the picture is Bellagio. The birds of prey show...here's the guide talking about the different animials (in Italian) -- this was a hawk.
Another hawk from North America Young barn owl Birds of prey demonstration...he would let the hawk fly away and then come back swooping across the crowd to grab some food. It was pretty cool.
Beautiful bird! Looking down on the city of Varenna One of the old buildings in the Villa Monastery
Another shot from within the Villa Monastery Villa Monastery Gardens Lake entrance to Villa Monastery
Taking cover from a brief afternoon rain shower More of the Villa Monastery Love the tiles and the greenery
Statues and walkway at Villa Monastery Varenna in the background Fun with mirrors
The town of Varenna...love this one!
View of the Villa Monastery from the lake Streets of Varenna...can you see the gnome? It cracked me up. Arriving back "home" in Bellagio
Birthday dinner at one of the outdoor cafes in Bellagio...the end to another fabulous day in Italy!
