The towns and villages along the shores of Lake Como are well served by a variety of boats – some fast, some slower.  They hop from place to place, so you get to see quite a lot of beautiful scenery without ever having to move from your seat. 🙂

After our walk along the Greenway to Lenno we took the boat (via Tremezzo and Bellagio) to Varenna, arriving just before noon.  Our boat back was at 15:20, so that gave us plenty of time to explore and have a leisurely lunch by the waterside.   It has to be said that we preferred Varenna to the much busier and very touristy Bellagio.  It was also nice that we were able to disembark right outside our hotel in Sala Comacina.

    I enjoyed both VRenna and Bellagio as we were there late October it was very quiet and didn’t feel touristy then as it was cool. Your photos are very nice.

      Thanks for your kind comment. I hope the photos bring back some happy memories. It was a little later in the year when we visited Bellagio last year, but I think we just prefer less hustle and bustle. 🙂

      I’m not sure how old the buildings are (though some do have dates written on the side). It obviously wasn’t difficult to spot a good place to set up home ! 🙂

    Great photos as always. The black and white shot is particularly moody.

      Thanks. I follow a couple of black and white photographers, so I like to throw one in there occasionally. I’d not heard the story of the cow, so I enjoyed that. Hope your run goes well today.
