O Clooney, where art thou?

About an hour's train ride from Milan is the charming town of Como, home to the famous Lake and to the equally famous George Clooney.

Unfortunately George was not at home today, so we had to make do with a one-hour cruise on the water alone. But we recovered quickly, and took the funicular up to Brunate. We had to pass some pretty sprawling villas built right on the hillside, and that was pretty tough to take. All that wealth, all that luxury. And none of it mine.

We followed this up with a light lunch on the shore of the Lake, then hopped the train back to Milan.

So Georgie boy, you missed out. But we will see each other another time.
