Mediterranian to Lake Como

TheMediterranian is a beautiful blue. We stayed in Rapello, Italy on the Mediterranian for 2 days. We drove along the Mediterranian coast to Portofino and happened upon San Margarieta along the way.
























Portifino and San Margarete were fun little towns to visit along with Cinque Terre. Portofino is mainly accessible by boat - lots of boat's no cars in Portofino! We walked along the boardwalk between Protofino and San Margarieta one evening at sunset and it was quite impressive! We visited Cinque Terre and saw the umbrella beaches there.

































We drove to Lake Como and saw Laglio, Como, Mennagio, Bellagio and Varenna. We took an afternoon trip over to Lugano, Switzerland.















We happened upon the Basillica in the old part of town in Como. The church was installing a new Bishop, the pomp and ceremony that went along with that ceremony was fun to see. . . Something I had never experienced before. Next time we go to Lake Como we'll stay in Varenna rather than just spending the day there. It was a quaint, very small, very beautiful lake town that just oozed with charm!!! Not showy, just charming.
