- Morning started with Ferry ride around lake Como, everybody had a choice of going for Castle Vezio Hike in Varenna or visiting Villa Balbianello in Lenno, villa Carlotta or getting off at Bellagio . Ross and I decided to stop by at the latter and stroll around the very picturesque Bellagio. The ferry ride was magnificent.
- We visited the Basilica of St Giacomo ,which is a fine example of Como- Lombard Romanesque style.
- We visited a very colorful rug store and had pizza for lunch and came back to Veranna in early afternoon. We gathered with the group for a happy hour in a local restaurant and got to know each other a little more and at 9 pm there was a great 4 hands piano concert in the church of St Giovanni right at the corner from our Hotel . Ross and I decided to attend . The beauty of traveling with Rick Steves' tours is that guides are very aware of any local event and they will help you to find fun activities according to your interests. that guides are always aware of this little local events and it was a great experience.
