Sunday 17 June 

Today we planned to do nothing but enjoy the atmosphere of Lake Como and catch up on my travel blog, which is now taking up a lot of time.  I was beginning to feel better so having a day at the hotel suited me fine.

Across the lake is Bellagio

Maria looking official!

Trying to concentrate on updating the blog, too many distractions though.

Car ferry arriving at the wharf next to the hotel, quite noisy at times.

The Hotel Riviera is a family run hotel and being Italian, they were friendly and welcoming.  We become very accustomed to eating and resting in the restaurant attached to the hotel.

Spending the day relaxing also gave us a chance to plan our drive over the Stelvio Pass (Wiki info).  Click on this link for a description of driving the Stelvio Pass - Stelvio Pass from South Tyrol to Italy.
