Experiencing the surroundings
In the colours of black and white
You may find it quite astounding
How well it works in this light!

I little place up North
A trip, of which you may never have thought
Verbania
Come and visit,
And do bring your hone-ya!

Time for a quick fishing trip
Maybe not choose the tallest ship
You may find a little boat a perfect fit
And really most well equipped!

This scenery,
Like something
From your mind’s imaginary
Dark clouds
Looming over the waters
Like shrouds
Just don’t shout
Too loud
You may scare
The locals!

Streets and steps
Quite narrow
Hardly suited
For a sparrow

Visit the town hall
It may be a little small
But when in Rome…
I mean Verbania,
You may find it fits ya!

Sailing the gorgeous lakes of Italy
Watching the clouds filling the sky to affinity…

But not time for the weary
When the land is getting too neary
The Captain yelling “Virata!”
Better do, as he says,
Or you’ll end up singing in “castrata”!

Kardamena Village; here we come!

As we arrived in the quaint little fishing village, we were greeted by the hustle and bustle of the villagers and tourists alike. Many a shops selling products from near and far. Knickknacks and touristy stuff among local produce, such as sponges and luffas. Wine and Olive Oil but also fine jewelry.

After a busy morning spent in the shops, lunch in the many restaurants by the beach boulevard was a welcome break. After a heavy duty fish related meal, ice coffee with small sugary pasties and then back on the road for a little sightseeing before heading back.

All and all, a day well spent, with plenty of memories accumulated in forms of tale and picture snaps! Definitely something to “instagram” back home 😉
