Milan is in such great proximity to the Italian Alps. We decided to take advantage of this by renting a car and heading for the beauty North of Milan. Our whole day, including much of our driving as well as our time in towns, was filled with incredible views and awe of such beautiful scenery. Lake Como is the shape of an upside-down "Y" and we made our first stop at the crux of the "Y", Bellagio. We spent a few hours meandering through the town - admiring the arcitecture, taking in the views, indulging in espresso and croissants, and breaking for lunch in the main piazza.

| View as we drove up one side of the "Y'. Much of the shoreline is populated and much of the driving is on roads built into the edge of the mountains. Quite often about one and a half car widths wide. Jeremy did some excellent driving. |

| Bellagio - a "vertical" town, as most were along the way. |
Then we headed over the border to experience a bit of Switzerland. We found it interesting that there seemed to be a distinct difference,noticed quite quickly, between Italy and Switzerland. Switzerland appeared cleaner and more modern. Again, we spent time walking the town and emjoyed dinner here.

| A great walkway and park run along a very large portion of the lakefront. |
Now, we arrived in Krakow. Excited for what another week holds...
