Lake Como

On Mum and Dad’s last full day in Italy we did some quick shopping in Milan and then headed just north to Lake Como. It’s a very picturesque area once you accept that the haze is almost unavoidable. We went right around the middle part of the lake and stopped in Bellagio to do a bit of shopping (surprisingly cheap cycling jerseys). We then climbed back over the range in the middle of the pass following the famous Tour of Lombardy cycle race. The race was in a week so there was a historical display of bikes and photos in a beautiful old villa.
