The ferry into Como is a fun trip anyway. Good luck !

Gorgeous photos and nifty presentation, Bob. Is there a limit to the number of photos one can do?

Hmmm ! I am not sure,but I can assure you there is a limit to the attention span of viewers.

Bob, What a spectacular slide show! Will be at Lago de Como March 2011 can't come soon enough after seeing your slide show. Thanks for taking the time to put it together.

Good for you.
It will be chilly in March--be sure to dress for it.

Thanks Bob..:)

We would like to travel from the Port of Venice to Lake Como this May. Could anyone give good advice in doing so?
to bobthenavigator...looking in to Menagio now rather than Tremezzo...Thanks...any other help or thoughts would be appreciated.

You need to trein as far as Milan---about 3 hours--and then transfer trains---but to where? You really have 2 choices. To the city of Como where you can catch the ferry that plies the lake to Bellagio, Menaggio , Varenna et al. Or, train to Varenna [same train is to Sondrio] and walk into town from there, or catch the ferry to Bellagio etc. The entire trip can be about 5 hours with connections.
