The Travel

So, my Dad and I were at the airport, ( My mom was already at Italy ) and we were flying to Frankfurt, Germany to get a connecting flight to Milan, Italy. Then we went to the baggage claim to get our luggage. After that we went to the bus stop to go to the train station to catch a train to Arona, where we would catch a train to Baveno. At the bus stop I really had to go to the bathroom, so we barely made the bus.

The Eating

The first night we were at Baveno, we had pizza. My mom was in Amsterdam, on her flight, so we had pizza ( My mom is allergic to dairy ). One pizza we got was the 4 cheese pizza. It had Blue Cheese, Brie, Asiago, and Mozzarella. The other pizza we got was the Americano. I thought it was the simple pepperoni, but it had HOTDOGS AND FRIES ON IT! I just did not want to have it. I guess that is what people think America is all about in Italy. On the second day for lunch my mom had a fish pasta, my dad had buffalo mozzarella pizza, and I had a cheese pizza. On the second day for dinner my mom had a spicy pasta, I had a meat ravioli, and my dad had beet Gnocchi ( Which was actually good ). On the last day for lunch my dad had quinoa, my mom had a Crab salad ( The Crab was really good ) and I had an amazing pepperoni pizza. On the last night for dinner my dad had really good ravioli, my mom had another spicy pasta and a salad and I had amazing Gnocchi drizzled with bitter chocolate and sweet Gorgonzola cheese at the bottom. For breakfast every morning we ate at the hotel.

The Gelato

The first Gelato I had was with my parents at Baveno. It was not good my mom gave it a 2 star and so did my dad and I gave it a 2.5 star. In all we gave it a 2.2 star. On the second day I got a Gelato at Isla Bella which was pretty good. The same day I got Gelato at Isla Superiore which was it was just shy of great. Then we had a great one in town the same day. My mom gave this one 5 star and so did my dad. I gave it a 4.5 so in all it was 4.8. The next day we went to the same place that we did the day before. That is the Gelato places we went to.

The Sightseeing

On the second day we went to the islands. On the first Island there was a castle and a garden. We went into the castle first where there was a lot of rooms. We strolled around inside. THE DINING TABLE WAS MASSIVE!!!!!! Then we went outside to see the garden. It was beautiful. There was this stone thing that we go up on and see a lot of stuff. There was these really cool peacocks that were white! On the other Island there was a lot of shops and a beach. We walked around and checked out the shops and then ate lunch. Then we caught our boat back to the hotel. On the third day we went to a gondola where we went up a mountain to do a hike, then we grabbed a drink. After that we went back down and ate an amazing lunch. Then we went to walk around the city and catch the ferry back to the hotel.

All in all, this has been a great start to my trip!!!!!!!
