From Florence, Nate and I made our way to Lake Como. We stayed in one of the small towns around this massive lake. I'm just going to answer this question so it's out of the way: No, we did not see George Clooney or his house. That would have been sweet (obviously), but unfortunately didn't happen.
Nate and I stayed in a nice hotel with amazing views of the lake. The hotel had just opened for the season, and apparently we were his first guests. It was a beautiful and sunny the day we arrived, just in time to enjoy the sunset.

The next day, we took water taxis to different, picturesque towns on the lake. The most famous one is Bellagio. We enjoyed oggling at the massive mansions and walking around the little town.

We went to two other towns on the lake, Menaggio and Verenna. Verenna was the prettiest town, with it's colorful buildings right on the water.

Our time in Como was very relaxing. Taking in the spectacular views, enjoying the charming little towns, and eating some awesome food sums up the experience.
