Como and Bellagio make a great final day




Our final day on the road included a day trip to the area of Lake Como. This is about 30 miles north of Milan . We took the train to Como and then hopped on a hydrofoil boat for a one hour ride up the lake to Bellagio. What a site! This area gives the Amalfi Coast a run for its money. Today's trip provided some of the most amazing views we have ever seen. The boat ride maneuvered up through the Italian Alps to the docks of Bellagio. From there we could see the snow covered Swiss Alps peaking over the horizon. The weather was beautiful and we spent the afternoon strolling through the markets and shops of Bellagio. We were constantly commenting on the scenery. Every turn produced another breathtaking view.

We were a little sad on the train ride back to Milan as we realized our trip was quickly coming to an end. We will be leaving Milan on Friday morning at 10:20am. :-(

Ciao for now!
