Day Three - First Full Day on the Tour: | |
Spent the day on Lake Como visiting the villages of Menaggio and Bellagio.
The boat ride across the lake was very smooth and the Rick Steves tour provided the all-day passes. We spent much of the day with Anthony and Bette from New York.
We first headed to Menaggio, then over to Bellagio.
We had lunch in Bellagio with them and some others from our group including Ferdi, our guide.
We calculated that when we saw him eating at the restaurant, it's probably a good choice.
Excellent way to start the tour. |
