Back into Italy, back to gelato. GELATO I LOVE YOU. For those of you that have never heard of lake Como, George Cluney holidays here so obviously it's beautiful... and expensive. Damn! So I'd just like to take a moment to thank my stomach for allowing me to eat a whole pizza everyday for four days. Im sorry I did this, but I'm broke and pizza is cheap. I hope you understand.
Lake Como is a quiet little place. There isn't really much to do unless your really into out door activities. Eg. Canoeing.. Which I did none of. Hiking, which I did a lot of and was rewarded with epic views! If you're ever any where in the world and have the chance to get high above your destination. Do it, there are no other ways you will get views like this. Unless of course your George Cluney and you own a helicopter or a jet, or what ever it is that rich people have. Also if your into cycling Como has some awesome tracks. I saw my fair share of Lycra in lake Como. And Switzerland just happens to be a 45 Minuet bus ride away, so I of course decided to go to a chocolate factory on the one day that it absolutely poured down with rain. And on a Sunday... I know in the bible that Sunday is a day for rest. But for most of us Sunday is a pretty normal day. Coffee shops are open. Grocery stores are open. Public transport runs normally. Well let me tell you, in Europe they actually rest on a Sunday. So absolutely nothing was open buses also run about every two hours. So you could imagine my delight when I was saturated in Switzerland at 4pm and realised, oh my bus should be here in 2 minuets and I'm easily 10 minuets from the bus stop. I've never run so fast in my life. Happy ending though. I made the bus, and then treated myself with a whole pizza. Duh!
