Our day at Lake Como




Some of the things we saw and did today... 
The view from our balcony as the sun rises over Lake Como
The dining room looks out over the trees to Lake Como
We walk downstairs and are greeted by Zorro, our replacement Ziggy.

Wonderful breakfast... this was prima piatto, followed by eggs with grilled cheese, lardo (yes, fried fat), prosciutto, and bacon! Oh... and chocolate croissants, bread, butter, 3 cups of coffee, 2 of juice...
In an attempt to walk off breakfast, we headed into town along this leafy road. Lierna is a lovely, small town that's not overrun with tourists.
Walked up the streets above the Via Roma to get away from the traffic.
Enjoyed peaks at the lake between the houses.
Came around the bend and beheld this lovely sight, one of hundreds!
Drove to Varenna for lunch on the main piazza and had pizza again... not good, again.
Walked down to the waterfront for "afters" and enjoyed the view.
The view in one direction...
the view in the other...

Returned home as the sun moved lower in the sky over the mountains to the east...
And the light faded to the west...
Good night, Lake Como... arrivederci!
