A few friends and I jumped on a train last Sunday morning to head to Como for the day. Here are some photos from our adventure.
The city is right on an alpine lake.
There were a lot of beautiful palaces.
It's all of course very picturesque.
It was nice to see the fall colors...
...and we had a delicious lunch at a place we all decided was a tourist trap. Rick Steve's rule about the bilingual menu is impossible to avoid.
Then we walked some more...we had to take the funiclar from the city to a small town located in the mountains above called Brunate.
The views were great. I can't quite tell if that's humidity or pollution though... it's probably better not to ask.
But of course, we eventually had to head back down...
...where we checked out some more of the city.
After all that walking we were all very tired and passed out on the train home.
The end.

Como is beautiful! Ian and I stayed in a town up the east side just before you hit Bellaggio. Across the lake from there we went hiking and nearly died from steepness and scree, and Ian had no travel insurance. The view was beautiful, but was also very smoggy then (in May). Bellaggio was maybe my favourite part of that trip, it's really chill there.
