Ride to Lake Como

The last week or so the weather really took a turn for the better. Nearly everyday was pleasantly warm and spring was clearly on its way.
So as the weather forecast for Zurich over the weekend was quite dismal, we (Elisabeth, Brett, and I) decided to go for a nice bike ride in Ticino were it was to be sunny and over 60 degrees.
The ride itself was beautiful (judge for yourself), and we kept a pretty decent pace although we stopped quite often.
We arrived in Como at night and the city itself was alive, it really felt like a nice summer's evening with folk just out enjoying the city and lake. We were getting quite hungry at this point so we took the first restaurant we found with a view of the lake where we could enjoy the sunset. The menu had pictures which should have been our first warning, but we went ahead and ordered. The hot food came out in microwave trays, what a crushing disappointment. It didn't taste bad since we were so hungry, but to do something like that while being in Italy is almost sinful.
