The drive to Our hotel in Moltrasio at Lake Como went very smoothly with the help of my phone’s GPS. After dropping our luggage at the hotel, we drove back to Como to drop the rental car. We then walked the short distance to the ferry terminal to go back to our hotel, again navigating with the GPS. We stopped at a café along the way for lunch. It was a nice day, so we each had a Hugo. Then we walked to the ferry and took it to the ferry stop close to our hotel.

We didn’t know it at the time that about 11 months later we would be landing at the Linate airport in Milan to start a month-long road trip around Italy

Very nice tour.
Thanks NMGal; much more to come.
And I love road trips; we drove 3,500 miles in 9 days on our honeymoon. We did a ~2,900km road trip around Italy last year that I'll post photos of when I finish this series. If things go according to plan, we'll be doing a 4 week road trip around Italy and Switzerland this year too.

Thanks Mark. I hope there will be more fond memories in my next few sets from Lake Como.
You tripped my "trigger" with the Ferrari shot! Thanks Dennis. Neat series.

Thanks Laura, glad you are enjoying the series and the Ferrari photo. There will be another photo of a Ferrari (another red one!) in one of the future Lake Como posts.

Map of Lake Como.
Thanks for sharing as they did bring back some wonderful memories. I was there several years ago and the main reason I wanted to go there was because I had been a rider of a Moto Guzzi motor cycle from 1973 until 2013 and that is where the factory was located. I wasn't allowed to view any part of the factory and was only able to visit the museum. It's a beautiful area and maybe one of these days I'll go back.

I'm happy to share Dalbon and I'm glad my photos brought back fond memories. We plan to go back to Lake Como this year as well as making a stop in Maranelllo at the Ferrari museum (I'm a fan, but have never owned one). We had a hotel booked in Bologna last year with a day trip to Maranello on our drive around Italy, but the late spring floods resulted in some evacuations and we cancelled our stop there. I just posted another set at
