| CHIC Travels | Girls Trip to Italy | Lake Como

Al Fresco lunch, like all Europeans love to do, and so do I. This happened to be a perfect day to come to Lake Como via Milan. We came just for the day, even with a late start we were able to enjoy some of this amazing lake side town.

Stunning Apartment Building behind the train station, I could so live at the very top penthouse with all those beautiful Roman statues. 

I found the Grand Budapest Hotel in Lake Como, I mean, don't you think it looks so much like it? it's either a private villa or a hotel (sigh).

Elli Stam, my Greek girl, fellow blogger and travel partner looking stunning.

Life in Lake Como seems to be a slow and relaxed paced one, most of the time, you find people either sitting at street side cafes or strolling around the boardwalk admiring all the beauty around them.

The scenery in Lake Como is gorgeous and extremely peaceful. Perfect for a short romantic getaway, as you do not need so much time here, unless your looking for an extended retreat, in that case, this place is the one.

I had to snap this adorable and extremely stylish couple who know how to do a day out, just right. Plus he reminds me of an Italian boss/my uncle.

The best part about Italy, I think, are the many old structures that ignite daydreams of the past.

I guess you can say I have a thing for elderly couples, more so when you find them enjoying each other's company. I also, love the depth of this picture.

Sweet life for this little duck or bird, he knows what he is doing.

I can so do this life of sitting around, reading, eating, and maybe some wine or a romantic picnic with a hot date, in my case my hot husband.

We did some strolling of our own, my travel partners looking so chic.

Oh you know, saluting my wine, isn't that what everyone does? especially when it's Italian wine.

Admiring all that my little eyes can see.

And I was happy to capture this gracious glacier of the Grigna mountains, I have a think for glaciers ever since I witnessed them up close and personal in my travels to Chile and Argentina a couple of years ago.

Again, thank you for stopping by to see my travels, hope you enjoyed my #travelphotography of Lake Como. Up next is the final recap of a Girls Trip to Italy, Milan.

Part III x Final | CHIC Travels | Girls Trip to Italy | Florence

The Gucci Museo was a pretty fun stop, the collection is not as extensive as I would have wanted, but is still a fun quick stop to make, especially for those who love the history of fashion.

Hands down the best orange juice I will ever have, comes from Tarocco blood orange, and is native to Italy. 

Rows and rows of gelato, my eyes sparkled more then ever before.

Cutest little shops are in every corner.

One of my top moments I captured in Florence, I don't know but I love everything about this photo, so chic.

The yummiest hot chocolate I've tried, better than the one I tried in Paris.

So this concludes the Girls Trip to Italy | Florence. Hope you have enjoyed all the photos I captured in Part I x Part II and this one.

Part II | CHIC Travel | Girls Trip to Italy | Florence

Snapping a selfie whilst on a gorgeous horse carriage ride through Florence. 

Street artists doing there thang.

Love snapping photos of my friends or my husband while they are not looking, only because I like the natural feel of photographs, they capture moments that other wise would feel staged or forced.

Walking through the streets of an Italian city is the most charming experience, you discover interesting features or items just perfectly placed to give it that charm that we all look for when in Italy.

My eyes twinkled every time I saw a Pizza shop, because it's my favorite food of all time.

The Florence Leather Market, not to be missed. I will be honest, it wasn't as good as I imagined, perhaps times have changed but you still get to find pretty good bags and leather goods in some of the shops. | TIP | always negotiate price, I never pay the asking price in markets like these.

I don't know about you but I have always and will forever be a fan of carousels, I think it's the nostalgic feel that they give off that attracts me so much. This one was no exception and I was able to capture the glory of it at nightfall, for that enchanting look.

As always, hope you enjoyed Part II of a Girls Trip to Italy | Florence. In case you missed it, see Part I HERE. Part III to follow this week.
