The last entry nearly a week ago found us in Italy at a wonderful campground just outside of Chiavenna called, Camping Acquafraggia. It was very well named as it was placed very near a beautiful waterfall that eased you into your nights sleep.
It was so nice having warm weather and the fact that our next targeted ride was the Stelvio pass, we decided to stay the weekend and avoid the crazies. A tour of Chiavenna which included a cafe stop was followed by a quick tour of a small village, Bondo.
A pleasant quiet day and we returned Sat evening to the campground and
then walked across the street to the Pink Panther Pizzeria. There we had
one of the best pizza's I have ever eaten.

Sunday we
decided on a loop around Lake Como. We discovered the Italians are
terrific tunnel builders. The majority of one side of the lake was
tunnel after tunnel, which covered about 40 kilometers in distance. Around the
bottom of the lake and up the other side we were able to ride right along the water's edge. It was a
beautiful road just wide enough for two small cars to pass by each
other. The most amazing part is there are no shoulders on any of these
roads. If you break down you are suck in a traffic lane. We stopped
along the water's edge for a picnic lunch and then started our return. We
found ourselves in a ferry port so took the 15 minute ferry ride to the
other side to finish the day's journey. A few more photos from the day...
Beaautiful waterfall"s...!!!
