- Woke up at 5 to catch a 5:50 train out of Alba.
- 4 hour train ride to Stresa.
- It was warm and sunny and beautiful when we got to Stresa (no rain until on our way back!). Stresa is a town in a lake valley below the Swiss Alps and is very, very beautiful. Erin, Kate and Kiki said it was their favorite place the whole semester that they've visited. I think Rome is mine--it had me completely in awe.
- We walked along the water toward the islands and got a ferry ride to visit two of the three main islands. We did some shopping and got a little bit of lunch.
The Alps in the background.
From the ferry.
Cool restaurant.- Then we came back to Stresa and walked along the water some more and got gelato on the way to the train station. We only had 4.5 hours in Stresa so we didn't get to do much but it was lovely to be there and have pictures to capture the beauty.
- 4 hours on the train coming back but they went pretty fast.
- Got back to Alba around 6:30 and headed back to the apartment where we collapsed (we were tired after two whole days of travel and walking! Ugh.) for the night.
- Bed early.
- Doing absolutely nothing tomorrow. Might not even leave the apartment.
