"Beautiful Lake Como" a Lago di Como Travel Page by azz8206

I stayed across from Bellagio while on Lake Como in Cadenabbia. Bellagio is beautiful and very picturesque. There are alot of handicraft shops there were you can buy jewellery and trinkets and its not too expensive. I also had a balcony from my hotel room and it was quite nice in the evening to just sit across, enjoy a pint and just take in all the scenery. All though Italians don't know what a pint is.

While at Lake Como I had time to catch Milan play. It wasn't as great as the first time I went. The first time I went was on Jan. 6, 2005, when Schevchenko was awarded the golden ball. That game was great it was the first game after the Christmas break, Sheva ran up and down the pitch with the Golden Ball, in the middle of a scudetto race with the tifosi of the curva nord in full force. I regret not having any of those pics to post online because they're great. Oh, and Milan beat Lecce 5-2 so there were plenty of goals.
This time however I went to the game right before the Man Utd game for the Champions League, it was against Cagliari. I did not see Kaka play but at least Ronaldo was on the pitch and Milan won 3-1.

This was the place in Mezzegra where Mussolini was shot. I was dissapointed because you could not go inside the house where he was imprisoned.
I also met an elderly englishman from Manchester that was staying at the same hotel that I was. He told me stories of the war out on the terrace of the hotel and he had an open bar going on for his stay so the drinks were free. He flew in the RAF and was in the Italian campaign.
