2009 05 22 Hello Bellagio















Arriva derchi Cinque Terra - Hello Bellagio! This was such an amazing region to visit. Steep narrow mountain roads certainly make traveling by car an adventure. Most locals use the train, the ferry or motorbikes. A few use cars, but parking is a premium. Tiny trucks are used for transporting goods, and it is amazing how they make their way through places we felt were surely walking paths.

After spending 4 days trekking the National Park it was time to say Chow!

We have a 4 hour drive to the Lake Como region to the city of Bellagio. We are really directionally challenged so we are very happy that we invested in a GPS with European Maps (to save our marriage) - and yes! it works..... The Lake Como area is even more cramped and narrow than Cinque Terra. But it is surrounded by mouintains and villages are interdispersed 360 degrees around the lake. We got settled into our room and will start our adventure in Bellagio tomorrow morning - bright and early.
