Little town Como is a good starting point for making trips around the lake Como in case you want to explore this area more. It was our idea. After the city Como, the plan was move to Varenna. Unfortunately it was really heavy raining. So, we had to change our plans and went to shops, restaurant, cafe, cinema and bar instead. Of course, we also explored the city and we ended up quite wet.
A funny story
I don´t understand their public transportation. They have so many different bus tickets and even in the place where they sell it, local staff can´t help you with that. So, we bought wrong tickets, we gave it back and just smiled to the bus driver who took us for free. Twice (on the way to the cinema and back to the city centre after). We watched a movie Uno di famiglia - about Italian family and mafia.
Did you know that
... you can easily make a one day trip to Como from Milan
... less than 1 hour by train
... the most popular lake in Italy
... surrounded by mountains and hills
... 197 metres above the sea level

Purple is my favourite colour.
A bit from gastronomy
Spaghetti alla vongole is my favourite. I order it every time I´m in Italy.
When it´s heavy raining outside - tea is your best friend.
Some education.
The bar at the end of raining day.
You can´t plan everything and the weather is quite unpredictable. Even though it was raining basically the whole day, I was still happy. Why? Because I´m in Italy.
