Buon giorno! We finally arrived in Bellagio - on Lake Como - after a very long day of traveling. We flew from Redmond to Seattle to San Fran to Paris to Milan, then jumped in our super sweet rental wagon and drove up to Lake Como - which took a lot longer than we had expected. Actually - getting to Como was easy and fast - getting round the lake was crazy. It took us forever to drive the winding narrow street. At around 8PM we finally stopped and grabbed a hotel room. We have been traveling since 6AM on the 10th. Throw in the time change and we still travelled for over 28 hours. We will ride up the Madonna del Ghisallo tomorrow. And then decide to stay in Bellagio, or move over to Varenna. By the way. Pants with zippers are all the rage here in Italy. And they have no clue about not wearing white after labor day! Ciao!
