It's hard to imagine a more beautiful place for my last day in Italy. Lake Como is a very deep glacial lake carved in what we call the foothills of the Alps. ISTM that if it were along the coast, it would be a fjord.
The lake has been a get away, resort area since at least Roman times, and over the centuries, a fair number of interesting villages and large villas have grown up. The best known is probably Bellagio.
I took a day trip on the lake-wide navigation system. It visits the villages along the lake kind of like a transit system. These pictures are of the alpine scenery plus a few of the villages and villas. Most if the photos were taken from whichever of the boats I was on at the time.
A good day in good weather.Read more
