Things to do... watch the ferries

Lake Como is bustling with water traffic, mainly ferries, but also smaller craft.



 There's not a lot to the vehicular ferries. They are a hollow shell designed for quick offloading. I'm amazed at how efficient they are in this process. It's only about 10 minutes to Verrana or to Bellagio from Menaggio.


It's quite Smart to have a tiny car in Italy with all the narrow lanes

Not so Smart now!

Not sure how far the ferry crew were going to push her, but this is 3km inland.
Just kidding.



When I grow up I want to be a car ferry.

We had one ferry driver who seemed to delight in bashing the bollards!
