Lake Maggiore - Italy.


Ciao Bella! I have just been on an amazing family holiday to Lake Maggiore in Italy. We stayed in probably the nicest hotel I've ever stayed at - we had rooms with beautiful views across the lake, the food was delicious and everyone was so friendly! There was a lovely swimming pool at the hotel as well, so we had a couple of afternoons/evenings sunbathing and swimming.

We went on several boat trips visiting different small islands on the lake and exploring other nearby towns. 





One of the days was a bit overcast and rainy, so we decided to take a trip up to Switzerland for the day (only a 45 minute drive!) and go to a hot springs pool which also had flumes and diving platforms. It was so much fun - there was even a vertical flume leading into a small loop the loop, which was the scariest, craziest, best thing ever! I don't think the picture below does it justice but it gives you an idea...


Whilst we were in Switzerland we also visited Madonna del Sasso, a church set in the hills above Locarno.



As well as eating waaaaay too much Italian food, we had a lot of evening cocktails at our hotel which were so yummy but very alcoholic! I don't know what it is but I always find that cocktails taste so much nicer when you're on holiday...



Ciao Italia... hopefully I'll be back soon! xo




 p.s. apologies for falling off the blogging wagon... hopefully I'll be posting more regularly and reliably now I'm going back to university and getting into a routine again!
