Castle and a two hour ferry ride

Our last in in como we went to visit our friend Emma, who lives in lecco which is a town on lake como. It was so great seeing her again, we had coffee and chated with the lake in our view, it was beautiful! It turned out to be sunny which is good, finally were able to see all the mountains around the lake, such a stunning place.

After we visited Emma for a bit we hoped back on the train and hiked a mountian...in flats...to see a castle. It seems is always have the most impractical foot wear when I go on adventures. We knew there was a castle in the area and I figured we could walk up the road to get to it, but as it turns out the path is a mule trail, so it was a bit tricky to do in flats. But I made it, the view was incredible however when I got to the top my freaking camera died! I had my iPod with me but that was almost dead too! I managed to get a few pics but my iPod isn't great quality for photos. The castle was really cool, it even had a falconry in it, that they still use today. We got to see all the birds they keep there,which was neat, apperently they do shows with them, but there wasn't one going in when we were there, it would have been cool to see.

Once done the castle, we hoped on the ferry and took it around to all the towns that are on the middle part of the lake. The ferry ride itself was around two hours, we were going to get of in belliggio but we didn't end up having time, because the last ferry was at 7:40. It was really nice to see more of the lake areas, it's such a beautiful place to visit. It was so quite and low key, no annoying peddlers bugging the crap out of you all the time.
