The Locals Have More Stamina...

The day dawned sunny, but hazy and we were ready to leave 'Milano' and head for the open road in our comfortable little Peugeot 207. We found the road to Como without difficulty (or a map) and spent the journey making jokes about the name: "We're going to see, Perry, comb-over" etc etc...We were surprised that at no time between Milan and Come did we see any countryside, it was all completely built up and we weren't even following the motorway.
Everything about Como was breathtaking. The houses clinging to the hillside, the size and beauty of the lake, the twisti-ness of the road (?). It was just fantastic.
