8th September Melide to Como

We skirted Lago Lugano, with its aqua coloured water.
Visited a gorgeous church part way up a mountain, with super views, intricate mosaics and old paintings.

Jane B even sang a little song in it & the acoustics were excellent.

A lot of avid cyclists around here - we counted 57 in the first hour & lost count after that!


We had lunch in a cafe on the Swiss lakeside and swam in the Lake in the afternoon - wonderful!  We saw the local trains up close & personal, riding right next to the track at one stage. Yet more photo opportunities!








Finally, the ride past some vineyards & cows complete with cow bells, back in Italy, to the famous Lake Como. 

Our first glimpse of the lake a seaplane was taking off in front of us, a group were kayaking, ferries everywhere & there was even a waterskiier!  Our last 2 nights are here.  We said Hi to George Clooney, but had to wash our hair, so didn't catch up with him for dinner.

An excellent dinner next to the waterfront with some of the group tonight & delicious gelato again.

Como by night is beautiful.
