Italy

Holidays are good!
Although I must say my life here most of the time feels like I am on holidays.
We wanted to take a holiday just with the Fam. and hang out with boys and relax and we succeeded and Italy is the perfect place to do it. Great food good wine( although I must say we did make a couple of bad choices) and last but deffinitely not the least delicious gelato to be had.
We stayed in a little village at a friends house called Baveno , just south of the Swiss border and on the Lake Maggiore. Peter's house looks over the lake . We had an outing everyday which was mainly focused on the kids and included gelato and throwing rocks in the lake which was a favourite of the boys includibg the big boy!
One day we spent the whole day with our noses in our books and the boys just played around the house and watched a movie. It is the first time I have ever read a book in one day. Should be done more often.
We went and visited the Islands which are just off shore. One was a fishing village and the other an island owned by the Borromeo Family with a beautiful Palace and beautiful gardens with peacocks everywhere. As we walked around we played hide and seek with the boys and they loved it.
It was a great holiday and we came back very relaxed.
However no photos as I forgot the camera charger, however plenty of memories created!
