Lake Como

One of my favorite parts of the trip was renting a car and driving through the Alps up to Lake Como. The Alps really take your breath away. We got a good view of them from the plane flying into Venice, but driving through them was awesome. We even ran into a little thunder storm, something rarely seem in the bay area. First picture - our little rental car. They rip on this car like crazy on Top Gear so you can imagine Rob's excitement to drive it around. It treated us pretty well.
