Lake Como- The Bellagio End!!!! The place that the Las Vegas hotel is named after!!!

Reese, Lynn, Richard #2 and I all took the train up to Como last week. Its brilliant, 3.60 Euros one way. The tolls are more than that on the autostrada so its significantly cheaper to take the train!!! When we got to Como we decided to take a hydrofoil boat across to Bellagio, which is supposed to be the "pearl of the lake". It sits right where the lake splits and is regarded as the most beautiful section of Lake Como. 

The lake is HUGE by the way. It took us almost an hour on a high speed boat to get from Como to Bellagio, with only a few stops along the way.  It really was picturesque though, with lots of little alleys!!!!!

I can see where the inspiration for the Vegas hotel came from, totally gorgeous. I'd definitely return :)
