Como

Very late Wednesday we arrived in Como and met up with Torea's friend Beth (different Beth!).
Thursday we wanted to go for a decent walk. We were up late however and it was super hot, so we decided to do a smaller walk near the lake. We took a bus round, and were dropped off in a village. We only found the walk we were going to do on occasion, but wandered down the streets of the villages by the lake and went swimming which was really pleasant anyway!
Yesterday we actually went for a decent walk. When we woke up it was torrential rain and thunderstorms. We had to start out walk a little later and caught the cable car to the start of it. We walked up two neighbouring mountains, Monte Boletto and Monte Bolettone. It was super quiet, we only saw a hand full of people (including a kiwi sounding woman) and we were quite high up which was cool. It was great that it had rained because it made it so much cooler, but the clouds meant we couldnt see all the way to the Swiss mountains. Great misty dramatic veiw anyway. My feet were a bit sore from the desent down the road.
I loooove gelato. Como had some great stuff! We have now left Como and onto Venice..
