we happily discovered that we could scrape together (swedish saying) 45hours family time and escaped snowy Zermatt for summer in Mergozzo, Italy!

So after work wednesday we got filippa earlier from Marzipan and took the car 2 hours over the Simplon, pass Domodossola and to Mergozzo! We stayed at Camping Continental, my first camping experience, but maybe it doesn't count since we lived in an apartment???

It was a fantastic camping, so much better than i could have ever imagined. Really nice restaurants, fantastic coffee (IMPORTANT), the best playground filippa ever been to, clean, safe, FANTASTIC! There was a big pool, with slides, waterfalls, big waves and much more, and then of course the lake.

In the afternoon we went to stresa, beautiful little town by Lago Maggiore. Strolled around, bought the best ice cream i have ever eaten, found nice soaps, olive oil, colored pasta, salami and other italian delicacies.

Demian called me 3 hours before we left wednesday afternoon and said that he thought it would be to stressful to go away for 45hours...i told him we have to try and see if it is worth it...DEAR READERS, it is SO WORTH IT! already the first evening we said that it is worth it! Go, JUST GO!
