Was my favorite camp spot yet on my current bicycle trip. The mountain ridge is a border between switzerland and italy, at about 1500m altitude. The building next to me is an old monastery. This was last thursday, i then rolled down to the como lake that morning.

Oh man Como is nice, even though I was only in the tourist spots.

Oh yeah, i am not sure if there are any non tourist spots at como lake. I was not feeling it after riding down from the mountains. Still really beautiful and i actually spend the next two nights on a campsite right by the lake, needed to recover and lay around lazily, go for a swim every now and then.

I've been following your posts on the bicycling community, and now I see you here, too! I wondered if you were touring or just liked to ride in the mountains a lot.
