Italy 2011

Here am I, in Como, northern Italy, home of one George Clooney.  After a very pleasant flight, where I got 3 empty seats to sleep on, where the pilot did such a gradual landing, my ears did not hurt, and where the crew really proved that SQ is really the best way to fly, we got in at 6.30 am.  It was pitch dark and did not get light until 7.45 am.  After packing, we took a walk into the town centre (about 10 minutes walk).  We also visited the Lake but it was misty and not a good day to take photos.  There are lots of squares, like in Venice, with small shops scattered around.  I'm beginning to think we should just have gone to Venice (for the third time). That's my favouritest city in the whole world.  Ah well, it should be better tomorrow.  Right now, it's 4.30 Como time, and we are back in the hotel.  Adrian has succumbed to sleep and I'll wake him at 6 so we can go for an early dinner.  Sushi next door ?  3 Chinese women manning the cafetaria at the railway station ?  Is this Italy ?
