Gelato: Guidi Como
This was a special moment as it was the last time this vacation I bought a gelato. I didnīt plan it but saw this sigh and thought it looked trustworthy.

A real discovery. https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...61a5751bab.jpg |
Como: Basilica di San Fedele
San Fedele is located directly between houses.

Flight MXP - DUS
Time for the end. We returned the car, checked our bags (line in front of the Economy counter was horror, Business class was only 2 persons. Security was fast and we stood in the Lufthansa Lounge.
As 1 year ago when the lounge re-opened I was quite impressed. Design is modern and choices are very good considering itīs a Schengen-lounge. Quality of the food was acceptable, but donīt let expect too much. https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...8591e04149.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...780424e209.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...688e2099c9.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...258448fab5.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...75f48324e8.jpg A Little bit annoying was the alarm which sounded from time to time. https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...d1c2950dd5.jpg The flight was pretty standard and in time. At DUS I was soooo happy to see this sign: https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...473dd9adf4.jpg But OK, in the end baggage came . |
This was my vacation to Italy with many nice meals, gelatos and a lot of culture.

Wonderful trip report! Thank you for sharing. Did you mention what are your three favorite flavors of Gelato? How is your cholesterol? |
I'm so glad I was finally able to catch up on this report! It was absolutely fantastic. But it was a terrible idea on my part to read it during meal time, especially when flying an United flight.

Thanks offerendum for your great TR. Since you were touching my hometown Bergamo I followed with interest your TR from the beginning, I'm an expat living almost on the other side of the planet since the last decade and despite the fact that I go back Italy for short periods at least twice a year, there is always a bit of melancholia and emotion when I see pics of my homeland. Definitely you made me curious to try "da Vittorio" one of my next trips, I've lived near there for more than forty years and despite the fact that Vittorio is a culinary institution since forever in Bergamo, I've never managed to eat there.

The choices were a little bit better than the day before, quality on one level.

The breakfast was no reason to really complain about but far from great. If I compare it with the Four Seasons worlds are between each other. |
