We went by car from Vernazza to Lake Como Bellagio. The drive out of the Cinque Terra was, well, either amazing for some and frightening for others. The heights and the narrow roads, hair pin curves and Italian driving style was for some wonderfully exciting. For me I can just say um, exciting in a hair raising manner. It took a while to navigate our way towards La Spieza, long enough for me to wonder why I thought this was a good way to go. Regardless we made it safely out and up the Autostrada towards Milano. Pushing on north towards the west side of Largo Como provided more amazing car moments. Most riders loved it. Some kept their eyes closed. In the end the arrival and then ferry Todd over to Bellagio was lovely. Arriving to Bellagio over the deep blue waters was perfect!
The aqua harbor is hard to believe! Boats were not out due to the prior days storm
Our little Hotel Bellagio is centrally located but up 38 "shallow" steps that make you rethink the dresses and shies you packed. After a relaxing drink, off for dinner. Town was busy but not to many groups. It was cool so we ate under a awning and it was perfecto.
Great wines- regional whites and fish. Delicious. A stroll through town, down steps to the waterfront and The daily gelato. Off to bed after quite a day of ups and downs.
Bellagio is our next Italian Paradise!
Ciao Bellagio!
The ride was thrilling but when we arrived at Tremezzo for the ferry crossing it was with relief. The views over the water were so beautiful.
We liked the cute petit cars!
