We rode from Milan to Como and decided to stay in the city hostel. The lake region is very beautiful and we spent the evening just hanging out and enjoying some modestly priced booze. The next day we did a small day trip circumnavigating the south western arm of lake como, that was an absolutley wonderful experience and we even spent some time on the beach and I (Anthony) went for a swim although the rocks were difficult to walk over and the water was quite cold.
Como has a rich history like most places in Italy and a very very impressive cathedral as well. The variety of marble on the inside is breathtaking. We spent the morning of the 11th walking around the old town before we caught the train through the Alps to Zürich. The mountain villages were unlike anything we have ever seen. I got my one souviner from Italy which was a leather belt made from bull hide in Italy.
