 Grand Prix in Monza by Krystynn
I can't wait to catch Michael Schumacher in his Ferrari - in action. Or watch Kimi Raikonen beat him! (By the way, I am a fan of Kimi, not so much Schumi). Hey, somebody's gotta cheer for the underdogs, right?

 Lake Maggiore by Krystynn
Well, Lake Como/ Lake Maggiore beckons those who wish to go there for a romantic weekend interlude. Er... but please bring along an umbrella or anorak with you as the weather can change in a flash (like some jealous women's moods here on VT) ;-) and I heard electrical storms DO occur even in the summer months. No... I haven't personally experienced this phenomenom. Phew!

Como is a city in Lobardy in northern Italy. It is situated 45 km north of Milan (about an hour away by train) and near the Swiss border. It is also situated by the beautiful Lago di Como, surrounded by mountains. Como dates back to Roman time when the Romans founded Comum in 196 BC. Today Como has 86 000 inhabitants.
Winters are dry and cold in Como with temperatures of about 4 - 6°C and the summers are hot and wet. The average temperature in summer is 24 - 26°C. When I visited in the end of February it was after an unusually cold winter, but the sun was shining and it was the first spring days. On the highest mountains by the lake snow could still be seen on the top.
Como has a lovely historical centre where it is nice to walk around on the almost car free streets. The historical centre has medieval walls on three sides and here you find the cathedral and other interesting buildings. Around Como there are several grand villas and parks, and lovely small towns by the lake to visit. Leave a Comment

If going away over the weekend, most people go to either Lago di Como or Maggiorie or Lago di Garda. But in between Garda and Milano, there is a smaller lake, called Lago d'Iseo - it's lovely! :) Leave a Comment

Take a trip to lake Como a short train ride from the city.Como is beautiful, with little steamers to take you across the lake,some nice restaurants in the main square and a funicular railway to take you up the mountains that surround the lake.
When we were there they even had water boats landing on the lake.
Why not stay the night at least. Leave a Comment
