Hey! Was that George Clooney?



Lake Como





Walking the streets of
Bellagio



The REAL Hotel Bellagio

Today we said "Arrivederci" to Italy, but not before taking a scenic tour of Lake Como, which is in the mountains about an hour from Milan.  After the bus picked its way through the narrow and twisting streets of the towns surrounding the lake, we boarded a boat for our private trip across to the town of Bellagio. 

Is it him?

We were able to spend a couple of hours walking, shopping and eating - something we've become pretty experienced at doing.  Lunch was a delicious homemade bowl of minestrone and a cappuccino for Denna and a glass of wine for me - ah, delicioso!  And, of course, before boarding the boat we celebrated with our last Italian cup of gelato and as we sat and ate, was that really George getting on his motorcycle......!

 

A beautiful day on Lake Como!




Just another villa....

 

The boat took us on a leisurely trip around the lake and we were able to see how the rich and famous live on Lake Como.  The water was calm and the weather absolutely wonderful.  After our boat ride we headed into Switzerland, where the weather turned to rain.  It has continued to rain as we checked into our hotel in Emmetten, but as we head for our comfy beds, we look forward to tomorrow hopefully being dryer.
