Friday, October 7, 2011 Como Italy – day trip from Lecco

We drove about 24 miles from Lecco to the town of Como on Lake Como today. When we got to the city we were a little disappointed as it is now a big city hut then we got to the old area and we were hooked. We went up the funicular to the top of hill and it was a great view.

Funicular was built in 1894!
