Lago di Como

Bongiorno, questo e' il vostro capitano che vi parla.

Oh, wait, sorry.

G'day, this is your captain speaking.


ALL ABOARD!!


That'll be fifteen Euro each for this tour around Lake Como (Plus Tip).


We are now departing Villa d'Este, a lovely old Italian palace where the world famous Jake
Colman is currently staying.
The first Villa we are sailing past is Villa di Versace owned by Donnatella Versace of the famous Italian Fashion house.Gentlemen, if I could ask for your co-operation, I need you to balance the boat by moving to the starboard side (right side).

Ladies, now that the boat is balanced, on the port side (left side) we have George Clooney, Hollywood superstar's Villa.
I do have spare cameras, but photo's on them cost 50 euro cents, each, to develop.
This is the same villa where George Clooney, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie wrote the script for "Ocean's 13".

You can tell he is not currently living at this villa because there aren't several hundred screaming women trying to get a look at him.

Ladies and Gentlemen, please take your seats so we may continue the cruise.

We are now approaching a villa that has been rented, twice, for movie scenes.
One of these scenes was in James Bond, Casino Royale.
The other was the final scene in Star Wars Episode II, Attack of the Clones.


The final villa we are coming to, was bought by Sir Richard Branson, of Virgin Airlines and Virgin Mega stores, two years ago.
We are now arriving at our final destination, Bellagio, the real village, which was copied by the Las Vegas casino.I hope you enjoyed your voyage and keep in mind that tips mean a lot to me.
