Doors of Como

Brunate

Early in the morning we took a ride up to the top of the mountain, to Brunate. It's a small town/village so a couple of hours is enough for exploring. There's great views of the Swiss alps, architecture is like you would expect in the mountains but still with italian feel.   

Love the autumn colours!

This meal has to be one of the best I've ever had! Creamy polenta-but not so finely grinded, the most tender venison with juicy refreshing orange, carrot and fennel salad.

Early afternoon walk in the more quite part of Brunate.

Lunch spot

Best pizza breakfast!

This vegetable pizza with roasted aubergine, zucchini and paprika is my breakfast almost everyday.

Today we are exploring new parts of Como. It's a sunny day, a bit chili-perfect for light coats!

 Midday snack :)

Lunch spot. Love eating outside and enjoying autumn sun!

Late afternoon food shopping... I bought tons of fruit because I love it but also as a backup when breakfast pizza place is closed and I find myself standing there almost in tears... :D

On the way to dinner...

A day in pictures: IKEA and salmon dinner

This is how our weekend breakfast looks like. I don't eat bread on daily basis so these freshly baked bread rolls are a treat!

 After breakfast we usually take one hour power walk. I don't really like to exercise and go to the gym, so this is the perfect way for me.

 To go to IKEA is very untypical but we needed a couple of things... Anyway we ended up buying way more which is easily done at IKEA I feel like. How can a person need that many things and where does it all go?!

  So since it ended up being longer then just a quick visit we stayed for lunch. Of course it had to be swedish meatballs. So good!

Then we bought some fresh fish at a local fish-vendor. 

Late afternoon was spent playing games. 

This salmon with potato salad, broccoli and creme fresh sauce has to be one of my favorite fast dinners to make. 
 

Just before we were about to start watching Cinderella movie I snapped this picture of a beautiful sunset.

You're welcome!

Early morning light.

       I wouldn't mind traveling by boat everyday as we do here. To me being close to the water is so relaxing! On the other hand I probably appreciate it more as it is not part of my everyday life... Anyway, we've arrived...

Sometimes I forget this is a lake as the size of it and sparkling blue water trick me into thinking we're on the sea.

Lunch time. I try not to eat meat everyday and in Italy that's pretty easy. This time I got spinach and ricotta lasagne.

Afternoon light.

 

What a view!

Today I actually tried a new gelato flavor which never happens! I chose fig and I loved it, really intense flavor with chunks of crunchy fruit. I pared it with a standard nociolla <3
