DRIVE AROUND NORTHERN ITALY – From Burgamo around Lake Como


Máté getting in touch with nature!!








We stayed only a few nights in Milan... and then decided to head off to see a bit more of the countryside .... We hired a car in Burgamo and decided to drive around Lake Como ... and do a bit of “Clooney spotting” ... no did not find/bump into him.

Not really realizing how big Lake Como is ... not to mention how slow it is to drive around it ..... rarely exceeds 40 kmph ... and in Easter ... roads were very busy with all the locals away for their breaks.

Máte was the navigator .. and once we got to the top of Lake Como .... we saw signs for St Moritz ... and it was like

  • Q (Máte); “Do you want to go into Switzerland???”
  • Q (me): “What’s in Switzerland??”
  • A (Máte): “Some mountains, chocolate, banks”
  • A (me): “Ok .. why not” ... “Ok, lets do it”
