Lago Maggiano to Como to Milan to Como, Italy

In Italy navigation isn't so much by maps as it is by use of the force. Here is how it works. First you look at the map and determine you need to take a certain highway. In our example we will say "A9". Next you drive until you reach the intersection of the highway you are on and the way you wish to go. At the intersection you will be given two choices one for either direction. These choices will be "A9 City A" and "A9 City B". You probably guessed that City A was Torino, but you would be wrong because it was Torno. It doesn't matter because all the way along A9 you can't find either city. City B you don't even know what it was. There is no East and West in Italy, only cities you don't know.

So we drive to Como because it is Friday and at this rate we are going to need to leave now to be there by Sunday's wedding. We find our way to Como. Mosly because we gave up trying to go to the campground we had planned in Monza hoping we could make Milan for the stag and hen parties. Italy is easy to navigate when your city is on the sign.

We finally found Camping International, not because we wanted to but because the force told me to go around the round about again.

Camping International is great, we are 200m from the train station to downtown Como or to Milan.

We hop on the train and head to the stag and hen party. Stag and Hen party was awesome. Again Navigating to the parties involve bus drivers slowly driving so he can read steet numbers and a little but of magic.

As is the rule there are no pics of the stag and hen party, but we did happen upon the Duomo. It is the 3rd largest Catholic Church in the world.
