Woke up at 7 am after hitting the sack at 9:15 the night before. Not much to do in the evenings with no TV or internet so doing a lot of reading and actually not missing the crap you watch on the tube these days. Probably not a bad thing. Not too many channels in English either other than BBC in the odd location.
The day started a bit cloudy and a little cooler but by 11 am, that changed significantly with the sun breaking through and the temperature started to rise rapidly. By noon, we had bright blue skies and temps in the mid 30's again. We decided to get a day pass on the Como Ferry system which gave us access to ferry service to all the local villages at our end of the lake. We sailed to Bellagio & Varenna and we had no time for any others as the day had flown by and we were both pretty tired. Another great day in Como but I think a week here for us would be plenty. It is a real resort, tourist area and neither of us are big into that.
Each villages are quite distinct but the one constant is the tacky tourist shops and gelato shops on every corner selling ice cream at $6 a cone. I must admit, we have broke down more than a couple of times!
