WE SAW LONDON, WE SAW FRANCE…

…Como soaked our underpants!  We left France today and will spend our remaining time in Italy.  Au revoir, France.  Bon giorno, Italy!  If you’re wondering about the title of this post, we do have a good explanation behind it.  When we arrived in Como, Italy today, it was nice, but a bit cloudy and humid.  We had a 45 minute wait for a bus to take us to the pier for the hydrofoil to take us up Lake Como to Bellagio where we are staying for the next 3 nights.  Once we boarded the bus, it started to rain - big drops.  I’m not talking about a drizzle.  I’m talking big rain drops!  From the bus to the pier, it was about a 5 minute walk, typically no big deal, but today we walked through a downpour and we got soaked.  Kara even got splashed by a passing car just to add insult to injury.  At that point, we just had to laugh.  It only got worse as we rode the ferry to our hotel.  We ran off the ferry straight to the nearest café that had rain cover and ordered a glass of wine and a cappuccino to wait out the rain.  When it didn’t stop, we decided to make a run for our hotel as well.  The hotel receptionist told us this was not a usual occurrence, so lucky us.  The fun continues…
