9th September Como

We awoke to the church bell peel of the (rather) nearby church tower at 7.30.

After a leisurely breakfast, we did not even look at the bikes today having been on the road 18 days now.  'Como couch day' (or was it 'Como coma day'?).

We still managed to dip our toes into Lake Como (literally), visit the Duomo (church), have a coffee in a piazza, people watching on the promenade, window shopping, and of course having a gelato on the artificial turf watching the world go by.  A nana nap in the afternoon and we were ready for dinner.

Our last dinner was memorable: a 20 minute ferry ride along the lake at dusk to a restaurant overhanging the lake. 
We watched the sunset and the lights of towns reflect across the lake water and the silhouette of mountains surround us for a magical night. 
 The dinner was amazing - especially the antipasti buffet.  It was only right to finish the night with some grappa and tiramisu.
