We were a little nervous about the hotel we had booked which was 4 kms outside of Menaggio. We found the bus OK and when we eventually found the hotel we were absolutley blown away. Perched high on the hill we had a view of lake Como and were out of the bustle (mainly of American tourists) of Menaggio. The hotel also had a panoramic terrace with great cheap pizza and birra. Bliss. So much so that we stayed an extra night. Spent two glorious days sitting on ferries going up to Colico (one day) and down to Como (the next) and eating pizza watching the sun paint everything golden. Perfect.
So, that brings us up to date. Yesterday we caught a bus, a ferry and two trains to get to Padua where we finally found a hotel and now we are stuck here for two nights because of a train strike. So today is admin day. We are not sure quite where next but perhaps Slovenia. Ciao for now.
