After a pleasant summer staying in 4 different accommodations in the Sud Tyrol of Italy, off we went to enjoy other parts of Italy that we hadn't ever visited during the two years (1996 to 1998) that we lived in Cortina d'Ampezzo.
When we started our road trip from the Italian Dolomiti back to France in September, we had already put 2600 km on our Kia Sportage since it was delivered to us in Lyon in June. In September, we started a road trip back to France spending a week here and a week there. Our first stop was Lake Como, followed by Genova, Sanremy, Aix-en-Provence, The Camargue, and Aix-Les-Bain, then up to Geneva for two months.
Audre was driving when we started the coast road by Lake Como. It was narrow, windy and there was lots of traffic. It was beautiful but taking her eyes off of the road was not possible. Then about 6 fancy-schmancy cars that looked like Lotus cars approached from the other direction, and Audre said to Dimitri: "I can't drive this road; I am going to scrape one of those expensive cars and we will go bankrupt". Dimitri, with his nerves of steel, started driving and got us safely to Lezzeno where our hotel was. Dimitri drove the Lake Como roads a couple of more times and then said "BASTA" (Italian for "stop, no more, that's enough") and we took the bus, the ferry and taxis instead.
We stayed at Filario Hotel & Residences, Strada Provinciale Lariana 583, 89 Lake Como 22025 Lezzeno Bagnana.
