Tidlig mandags morgen møtte vi spent opp på Gardermoen med passet klart og kofferten pakket; meg, lillebror, mine to bonussøstre og foreldrene våre.
Første etappe på reisen var som antatt flyet til Malpensa, Milano. Andre etappe var meningen å være tog, men vi droppet det og leide heller bil (med privatsjåfør!) til byen Stresa ved bredden av Maggioresjøen. Er jammen ikke så ille å reise ut på tur med foreldre som villig plukker opp regninga og er av det bedagelige slaget!
Da vi kom frem til den lille perlen ved bredden av Maggioresjøen og hadde sjekket inn på et flott hotell bar det rett inn til sentrum av byen for å se oss omkring og få oss litt og spise. Vi fant en koselig liten restaurant med rødrutete duk på byens torg og dermed var startskuddet gått for 4 glade dager med nydelig mat, vin, sightseeing og shopping. Og alt sammen i godt selskap!

Når jeg har hatt tid til å gå gjennom noen flere bilder så skal dere få se dag to av reisen som inkluderer en tur til de Boromeiske øyer og Mottaronefjellet.
Early Monday morning we met up at the airport with our passports ready and our bags packed; me, my brother, my two bonus sisters and our parents.
Our first destination turned out to be Malpensa, Milano - as expected! When we arrived there we didn’t get on a train as planned but instead rented a car (with a driver!) to take us to our final destination for the day; the small town Stresa by the shores of Lake Maggiore. Got to love traveling with your parents, especially when they like it comfortable and always pick up the bill!
After we got there and checked into our hotel we went straight into the town center to grab some lunch and have a look around. We found the nicest little restaurant in the town square and with that our adventure in Italy was officially started. It ended up being an amazing 4 days with great food, good wine, sightseeing and shopping – and all in great company!
When I've had the time to sort the rest of my pictures I will be back with day two of our journey which included a trip to the Boromean Islands and a trip with a gondola lift to the top of mount Mottarone.
