On our last night in Como, we took the tram up the mountain overlooking the Lake for dinner.

The next morning we were off to Milan for an extensive walking tour of the city and shopping. Note Milan's answer to the Arc Triumph of Paris.

Another view.

The Cathedral in Milan, we would go to the top over 400 steps by some, we decided that the elevator sounded more our style.

On top of the Cathedral.

A great view from the top.

Next morning in Genoa we stopped to view a home of Columbus. Seems that he lived there according to the locals. The history books indicate that no one knows where he originated.

A street scene near the Columbus house.

In Genoa, a street scene as we begin our search for a place to have lunch.

We arrived the next afternoon in Portevenere at our hotel . . .

The view from the room is awesome.
