Hi Paul,
There are many world-famous names & places from around Europe that I’ve heard mentioned by don’t know anything about because I have not yet traveled through Europe.
Bellagio is one of them. Thanks for the head’s up on this famed travel destination.
I love storms, lightening and thunder, so I’ll have to add Belaggio to my list of places to visit when I tour Italy.
I was super lucky while staying at Marrina Bay Sands Hotel in Singapore to get a photo of myself from the rooftop pool with, not one but two, bright bolts of lightening behind me! It’s always amazing to see shots of lightening.
Thanks for sharing.
Best regards, Lash
I stayed at the Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni in Bellagio for a few nights quite a few years ago. Beautiful hotel and the views are wonderful. I remember one night we were woken by a noise and right out of our window, there was a boat/barge on the lake letting off loads of fireworks (for a wedding, I think). It was a spectcacular site as the display was reflected in the lake.
