Since we are enjoying the best that Lake Como has to offer, we thought
we had better check out the main town of the area - the town of Como.
Situated at the far south end of the left leg of our lake, for some
reason I was expecting Como to be fill of rich swanky people and their
flash boats all over the place.
Unless we ended up at the wrong end of town, or could be because today
is the last day of everyone's summer holiday - Como was a little bit
of a let down compared to the smaller more authentic feeling villages
around the lake that we had visited. To be fair to Como, it currently
is in a state of development along the lake front which I'm sure will
give it some of its sparkle back.
We visited the cathedral in the town centre where a church service was
in progress. However it was deemed by the staff that Marea was
showing off too much of her tanned shoulders to be allowed in!! While
Marea and I waited outside for Robyn we were very interested in what
people were wearing as they went into the church - we decided that the
staff member just mustn't have liked the look of Marea. So we tried
again, with Marea hiding behind me - this time we managed to get a bit
of a look around ;-)
Then it was up to our new campsite, where the rest of the afternoon
was spent chilling out and getting the washing done. Our washing
would have been all dry by the morning, except a big thunderstorm
decided to come in during the night. Luckily Marea and Robyn were a
little more awake than me, and managed to save it from getting any
more wet!!
