Day 7 Zurich to Griante, Lake Como

Off to Griante, Lake Como. We’re loving our Eurorail Pass - Rail Planner app works beautifully. Spectacular views once again from the train, except when in the world’s longest railway tunnel. The bus from Como to Griante was packed - standing room only, but a young American girl offered me a seat and helped us figure out which stop to get off on. 1.5 hours later our host met us and using a mix of Italian & French, with lots of gestures, helped us settle in. The place is up a steep hill - but the reward is a spectacular view from the balcony. For dinner we hiked up into the main village and found a local pizza restaurant - lovely patio upstairs, while a young girl made the pizzas in the open air on the main floor. We’ll certainly be getting our exercise here hiking up & down the hills.Read more
