What a world apart from snow covered alps you might say? This is the view from the ‘ostello i’m staying at. Just stunning, and at 13 euro a night i might be here a while!
Amazingly, barely 10 minutes after i took the photo with the snow, we hit dry roads and sunshine. Had a real hoot along there and was in 32 degree heat within a couple of hours.
Took the autobahn for the 60km to como. I love freeways in europe! I sat on 120 to 160 the whole way and was still slower than most of the traffic.
Italian drivers live up to their reputation. The 30km from como to menaggio took an hour. A tiny road snaking along the lake, gorgeous sights on both sides and lunatics behind the wheel. Fun stuff!
My hand is sore from typing all this on my phone, so ciao!

No internet access in como, even on the phone, hence the delay in posting this. Off to verona and maybe beyond today.
