The idea we whipped over the head with a bit of time and opportunity came on Wednesday, 25. With Marino, Stefano and Alessandro we meet at 7 o'clock in the morning to think Valmadrera, parking and load the canoe on the car 4 of Stephen.
We start to unload the canoes and Como all'Areoclub front of seaplanes. At 9 am we are in clear water ready for washing us back to that along the first branch of Lecco Como to Bellagio and Lecco branch then up to the wall.
The sun is still hidden behind Brunate but the day looks promising as well as weather forecasts had anticipated: cool temperatures and calm waters. Ever since the paddles I appreciate the wonders that this trip will give us: we are in one of the most beautiful scenery in the world where the beauty of nature blends with the elegance of the villas and gardens created by man. I stand out above the mountains overlooking the water and the man seems to defy adorning it with beautiful buildings that enhance its beauty.
The miles are racing between small villages that seem to lie down on the calm waters of the lake. Once in Relation to enter to visit the gorge, where a beautiful waterfall enters directly into the lake between two cliffs. Gape and take the opportunity to take a sea of \u200b\u200bphotos.
After about 18 km and landed on a beach for a quick refreshment and we share in the direction of Lezzeno where we visit a beautiful cave. Before Bellagio we stop for the main break of 40 minutes. We get to the point after just 30 kilometers from the start. Now we take the Lecco who welcomes us with the usual short and slightly hinders our pace. Stephen begins to experience the first signs of fatigue and decides to "cut" the creeks and we continue to walk along the shore. This stretch is very familiar to us, but after more than 6 hours in the water seems to us longer than we remember! Fortunately we did not hurry and take the opportunity to have a good swim for a healthy and refreshing coffee break. We get tired and satisfied with our car at 19, after exactly 10 hours after departure, and about 48 kilometers!
A beautiful experience that is sure to be remade in the future extend to other friends, it will certainly be pleased as we were.
