Como/ Varenna

Casey and Patrick werent coming til this evening, so Willie and Matt have been trying to avoid the actual town of Como and places in the very near vicinity. Today we took the boat to Varenna (and its friggin expensive for the fast boat-10 bucks each way. note to self, take the slower boat where you can get off at other stops next time. we were on limited time today, so thats the way it had to go). Walked around the town a bit. Then up the hill to a an old old castle around before Christ. Its quite small and ruined, but it was fun to see and offers great views of the lake and surrounding areas (also note to self - take the road not the stairs if we bring the stroller next time). Basically by the time we were finished it was freezing, drizzling and Casey and Patrick had already arrived at the hotel.
