April 16- During Easter brake, my Chilean friend and I decided to travel to Lago di Como, located in the northernmost region of Lombardy, right at the border with Switzerland . Set against the foot hill of the alps, this amazing lake has breathtaking views surrounded by small villages by the lake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The trip took around 3 and a half hours, having to change trains in Milan. I once again, took the chance to take more pictures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We first got to Varenna, the quickest way for us to get to Lake Como by train. This town is very small, but visited by thousands for its beautiful laid back culture, houses, music, food, and of course the spectacular view of the lake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We then took a short ferry to Bellagio, a very elegant town with beautiful architecture and colorful gardens<\/p>\n\n\n\n
