We are planning a visit to the west side of Lake Como in August. We are staying in San Martino. Our closest ferry is Menaggio.
These are villages that were recommended: Bellano, Mandello del Lario, or Tremezzo. Any suggestions on other villages and info about catching the ferry to these locations?
We heard Bellagio is very busy in August so we may skip it. Any Advice would be welcome.
Looking for recommendations for 7 days in Scotland in early October. We have been fortunate enough to have visited Edinburg, Sterling Castle, the Kelpies, and Loch Lomond.
Our current plan is to fly into Edinburg, pick up our rental car, and head north. We will be returning our car in Glasgow to catch a train to London to meet family. This is our 3rd trip driving on the left, and we have an understanding of the narrow roads and the slower pace of traffic. We have a good road map of Scotland. We do not plan to drive after sunset.
Coastal views, the Isle of Skye, and the Highlands are places we would like to visit. We are interested in short hikes (2 - 4 km), waterfalls, botanical gardens, and nature spots.
Ideally, we would spend 2 nights in one location, but we are not opposed to one-night stays. We don't want to jump around so much that we miss the beauty of the location we are visiting. We appreciate a good pub, music, local festivals, and traditions.
We are older but not ready for a tour bus! Thanks for your suggestions as we plan our trip.
