Bellagio, Lake Como

Lake Como, Italy

We have moved back to the land of milk and honey and are now staying at Bellagio on Lake Como for the next couple of days. The riding and scenery here has been amazing. Earlier today we climbed up to the Madonna del Ghisallo church and later that evening visited the cycling museum.

After descending Mt Ventoux we arrived in a small village in the foothills called Bedoin and stopped at a small restaurant reflecting on the days ride...
