The scenery was breath taking and the guide was knowledgeable. I am a novice and this was above my fitness level. However, with the guidance provided, I did finish the return up hill ride. Part way back, my legs gave out from fatigue and when I stopped to walk up hill, I fell over. I was not injured except for some scratches.

While on a trip to Tuscany we decided to forgo our last 2 days there and head north to Lake Como. Best decision ever! Upon arriving, we checked hotel sites and found an apartment with a view of the lake, only steps from the restaurant in Varenna. The restaurants and shops are amazing, everywhere you look is a postcard. Just go!
