Two Dutch tourists in northern Italy decided to get to their campground the hard way: by leaping off a ferry and swimming across Lake Como. 🏊🏻
Name a better love story than the Dutch and camping? We’ll wait. 😉
However, for two young Dutchies (23 and 26), this travel method has landed them in quite a bit of hot water.
Emergency services were called in
After the pair leapt into Lake Como and disappeared from view under the waves, panicked onlookers called emergency services.
An extensive search was conducted before military police finally found the dynamic duo safe and sound at a campsite in Tremezzina.
According to the NOS, this was roughly half an hour away from the 18th-century village of Laglio, which they’d initially swum to after their spontaneous dive.
Sounds like a happy ending, right? Unfortunately for the pair of keen swimmers, the Italian police weren’t as amused and reported the two for sending emergency services out on a wild goose chase.

Was this the skin flute player and the singer from the Dutch band Mann Feelings? I heard they did something like this while on tour in Italy. And boys. 𓂺
