We leave the green hills of Umbria and head back up north for Lake Como. It is a long drive (around 7 hours) but a very beautiful one. It helps that the sun has returned, although we can see snow on some of the highest mountains in the distance. Once north of Umbria the landscape changes from magnificent hills to being rather flat, although still beautiful with plenty of green fields and trees.
Once we reach Milan we can see the snow topped mountains in the distance and look forward to reaching the lake. Soon the lake is in view and it is rather splendid with the mountains behind. The drive around the lake is quite hazardous with very narrow lanes which don't look wide enough for two cars! We reach Bellagio which is North East of Como and our home for the next few days. We are greeted by the lovely apartment owners who show us around. The apartment has lakeside views which really are breathtaking. It is so beautiful here I know I will be sad to leave it and am already planning our next holiday here!
