......Right did you enjoy those?...Do you hate me a little bit?...Do I care?! The plan for yesterday was head Northish and a bit east and see what we hit. We knew what we wanted to see but it was just getting there. I've always wanted to see the Italian lakes and Yesterday I did and it didn't diss appoint in the slightest. First off is Lago Maggiori, The largest and some say the less pretty (but thats like saying Jessica Alba isn't as nice as Charleize Theron or Noemi Lenoir...anyway what I'm trying to say is its a damn fine bit of lake. We initialy went up the west side to the town at the start of the pics. (Arona, just had to look it up). We were gonna go round the top and accross but we saw a map and bleeding Swizerland turns up. We didn't have our documants so we had a change of . Back the way we came, up the other side and round to a small town called Laveno. The pics through the arch and the two above are Laveno. There I saw a veeery expensive little boat (the wooden one) its a Riva Aquarama Super. Built on Lake Garda and the best speedboat evermade. After that little stop off and a shared pizza and a beer, we drove to Varese, a town between Maggiore and Como and headed for Como city itself. Now i've learnt that Italian sign posts are frigging useless as it they took us such a long way round it was untrue. We made it, had a recovery icecream and ran into a classics rally, now this is my 3rd one in 3 and a half weeks, i'm attracting them, not that im bothered! Wandered round the waterfront until Nigel suggested we go up the grand Fenacular Railway that goes up the hill above Como. Turns out it was a great idea. It was beautiful up there and it was very steep as you can tell, the town looks right underneath us, shame it was a bit of a hazy day. From up there I could see George Cloony's house (fourth one up from this text, the square one right on the lake front facing towards you. has a small boat just going past infront of it) and Ville d'est which is a huge hose on the lake side with a big lawn and hosts the best Concourse d'elegance (dead posh car show) in the world. Up there there were amazing houses that must be worth a bob or two. Some pics ive pposted but there are more on request. Then back down the railway and home again to watch the footie finals, and a good match it was too. What a day that one was.
