We took yet another funicular ride up to the village of Brunate which is above Como so again we are able to get a birds eye view of this end of Lago di Como and again it was breathtaking.
The rest of the day was spent looking at villas and war memorials, eating gelato of course, drinking cappuccini and strolling along the shoreline pathways watching the people and the lake denizen. We also found the Duomo and even managed to take in part of the Sunday mass which was in Italian so probably our souls are still in need of saving.
For supper Rob found a restaurant that specialized in salads which was wonderful as we’re tiring of the usual Italian menus of pasta and pizza. There were about 4 pages of the most creative salads you could imagine. Mine (Tara’s) was called Melone Ripieno and was made with melon, arugula, chicken, tomatoes, avocado, peas and chicken. Yumm!
