Lake Como, Italy

Post 3/9 of Spring Break Travels: April 10th, 2009
Ducks along Lake Como.

We only stopped for a few minutes at the edge of the lake. We hadn't looked up how to find George's place or the filming spots from Ocean's Twelve or Casino Royale or Star Wars: Attack of the Clones (where Anakin & Padme get married), but it was fun to be on the same lake.

It was pretty and calm, but too hazy for good photos of the lake and surrounding mountains. The hills go up steeply from the lake, and the whole lakefront that we drove along was built-up with little buildings, villas, restaurants, walled gardens...
We stopped for a drink, then drove away to the west of the lake, up the steep hills and across the border back into Switzerland.
