Como is cooler than previous spots we have visited. Maybe a scarf soon? It is a very pretty town with plenty of shops and laneways to explore.
We took a ferry to Bellagio today.. It takes 2.5 hours but well worth it. The scenery is facinating and the mountains that run down to the waters edge are enormous. It would look magnificent in winter covered in snow. As it was quite a few mountain tops were hazed in cloud.
Along the waters edge towns have been established and in some areas they climb up the mountain side as if to escape the lake. Sea planes flying overhead are dwarfed by the scale of the lake and mountains.
Bellagio is a very pretty town and you could easily spend a day wandering the laneways and playing mountain goat as you climb and decend through the laneways and roads that criss cross throughout the town
A ferry back was easy sailing especially when they served red wine and drinks from a bar on board. AAAAH! Take the time and do the slow boat. It's fun and relaxing.
Back in Como we went on the Furnicular which was a 5 minute walk from the hotel and provided a great view across Como.
Lovely day. Off to Lucerne in Switzerland tomorrow. How lucky are we!!
