We reluctantly said good by to Venice as we stepped off our water taxi and walked to the parking garage. What a wonderful and interesting place it is. As it is Saturday, the traffic was heavy. People were coming into the Venice area for the weekend. We cautiously edged our way out of the busy area where all of the parking garages are located. You need to make a reservation for a parking spot, or you may have sit and wait for who knows how long. Cars were lined up outside of the garages in queue.
It took three plus hours to arrive in the Lake Como area. We drove through 26 miles of tunnels separated by short bridges. The highway literally goes under all of the little towns along the shoreline. Two of the tunnels are almost a mile long.
Our boutique hotel sits on the shore of the lake, or a finger of the lake. The little villages on the other side look like pictures in a children's book. A bottle of cold champagne was waiting in the room, compliments of the hotel. We sat on our balcony over looking the lake and sighed as the evening crept in.
Each place we visit seems to be better than the last. This a quiet meditative location. We're just going to chill here for a couple of days.
