Train to Stresa
by Byhaia
We are confused with the train schedule. We are going to leave Zurich and go to Stresa - the schedule shows we get to Stresa and then go on to Stresa NLM. What is the difference? Are there 2 towns? We are actually going to Isola Pescatori so we know we will have to take a boat from Stresa but didnt understand the 2 stops. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks
Re: Train to Stresa

Stresa NLM is the boat landing pier, a good 10 mins walk from the station. For schedules, go to
www.sbb.ch
and just indicate Stresa as final destination. You will get at least two trains each hour with change in Brig, average travel time a little more than 3 hrs.

Yep, sounds right. NLM means "Navigazione Lago Maggiore", the transport company for boats on Lago Maggiore, Como, and Garda. And, yes, on the map, the dock appears to be a one kilometer walk on foot from the station...

Stresa Daisies
by Manara
The Margheritine di Stresa (Stresa daisies) are delicious cookies that were created in this town in the 19th Century, by Mr Pietro Antonio Bolongaro, who named his creation after Margherita, daughter of the Duke of Genoa, who used to spend long holidays in Stresa, in a villa that is still called Villa Ducale.
It’s interesting that later on, when she became Queen of Italy, Margherita had also a pizza named after her.
If you want to taste the “margheritine” I recommend to buy them at the Pasticceria Marcolini, in Via de Vit.
If you want the recipe, write me an email.
Isola dei Pescatori
by croisbeauty
This is the very first impression of the island after landing, a short promenade where most of the cafe-bars, restaurants and souvenir shops can be find. The houses, decorated with lots of greenery, are congested making a kind of wall which protect the inner street from cold northern winds.
Isola Madre - other attractions
by ChrsStrl
The walk initially takes you round the African terrace where plants from Bolivia mix with the carob (whose seeds we are reminded were once used to weigh diamonds - hence 'carats') from Arabia and a citrus tree from Burma. An odd coincidence links us to a lecture on a cruise to Norway two weeks earlier on plants on the edge for also here grows the Casuarina - a plant that grows on sea-shores as it has adapted to withstand extremely salty soils. This example comes from Australia. This side of the island can, they say, be 4 degrees warmer than the other, which is why such plants will grow there.
The walk then leads you through an area of the garden where camelias grow. We are in the wrong season except for one we see later on the tallest camelia bush\ tree I have ever seen (though my experience of camelias is not extensive).
As we enter a lawned area we are suddenly aware of a majestic white peacock serenely gliding in state across the lawn. A bustle and flurry of cries and, running across our path come a motley collection of highly-coloured birds.
From the Villa on Isola Madre
by ChrsStrl
After the house descend into the Chapel Square where the lily pond boasted "white, pink, red & yellow water lilies" but had not counted the exquisite blue one we found there. We were lucky to find the 'Simosa Sensitiva' and the coffee plant that grew next to it.
You walk along the Palm Boulevard and it is almost easy to miss this 125 year-old tree from this level because the eye is stunned by the colour of the flowers. They say on their leaflet that it produces 3,000 edible coconuts a year - if these fall that means over 8 a day come down from it!
Just after the exit you will find a small cafe\ restaurant where coffee on the terrace provides a welcome restorative.
The joy about getting the early boat is that you will have had the place almost to yourselves. The numbers flowing off the boat as you wait to do the next leg of the journey confirm that in our belief.
