We stayed a couple of nights in Lake Como in a beautiful little family run hotel overlooking the lake. What an amazing place. So serene. The video below is the view from our hotel bedroom. We were in search of George Clooney all the time we were there cause we know he owns a place on the hill and were told that he often drives his Harley around town. So our tour group had a commitment to shout CLOONEY ALERT any time we heard the hum of a motorbike nearby... alas.... we didnt see him.... sigh... lol
Below are some of the stunning views from our adventures around Lake Como and the surrounding villages we visited by boat. Was raining one of the days we were there but sunny the next. Amazingly we saw beautiful snowcapped mountains from our window and knew that Switzerland was only a bus ride away.
The below 2 photos were taken from a beautiful villa we visited that was a setting for a scene from one of the Star Wars movies as well as the movie "A month by the lake". I wouldnt mind spending a month by this lake!
Would have to say that overall Milan is incredoubly overrated as its really just a big city. Fortunately we only spent 4 hours there on our way to Lake Como, however I would have been happy to have forfeited those hours for longer by the lake. All we really ended up doing in Milan was shop, and even then the shops are much like any other city... just more expensive. One nice site, however was this lovely cathedral. I wish I could remember the name, but cause I visited about 100 on my trip, lets just call it the Milan Cathedral... lol... Now Im not one for associating God with expensive ornate buildings cause I much more relate to God through nature and people, however these buildings were awe inspiring from an architectural and design perspective. So much work had gone into designing them. It was all amazingly intricate.
I so love stained glass, and the above is just one example of 1000s of stunning windows viewed throughout Italy.
