2011/09/02 Visiting Italy Day 1 and 2: Lake Como: Bellagio, Varenna, Lenno
π 2011-09-02 00:00 in Trips
As soon as we arrived, we got our "grand" rental car, I used my old trusty garmin and tried offline routing with navdroyd, and it got us there :)


just to be safe, I used double routing :)

After a pretty drive next to the lake, we got to the panoramic hotel I found. It wsa not walking distance from downtown (but ok since we had a car), and it had a fantastic view.

nice view from our hotel room :)

After checking in, we drove down to a parking lot (easier said than done) and walked to downtown, where we grabbed a boat to Varenna. We grabbed some lunch and hiked to the top castle.

We then went back to Bellagio for more touring, and had dinner by a nice vista point:






The next morning, we had a nice breakfast on the "porch" :) and we took a Ferry to go to Villa Balbianello:












After lunch, we headed back to Bellagio for some hiking around the top of the island (it unfortunately was not that great a trail with so-so views compared to the trail length and difficulty in places.







When we were done, we drove back to Milan where we spent the night.
