Today we headed about an hour north of Milan to check out Lake Como. While it was as beautiful as advertised, it was also crowded and many of the roads on the west side of the lake are barely one lane (at best) which was quite the interesting experience on a tour bus.
One of the highlights was being able to see the Swiss alps – which tower more than 11,000 feet above the north end of Lake Como. The 5,000 foot peaks in the foothills are known only as the “pre-Alps.”
In addition to a cruise on the lake, we were able to wander the streets of Bellagio and Como before heading back to Milan to catch a quick dinner and pack for the next leg of our trip tomorrow.
