Driving from Switzerland to Italy

When Jenny and I woke up Wednesday, the 22nd, we had no idea that our drive to Italy would place us on a train and a boat!  We left Grindelwald and drove onto a train bound for Bort, Switzerland through a mountain tunnel.  So many of the roads we have driven on in Switzerland take us through tunnels.  (kind of like their cheese!).  Anyways, we found ourselves in the car in this dark tunnel without any idea of how long it was!  It was creepy and fun at the same time.  After 20 minutes we saw the light at the end of the tunnel!  Next we drove into Italy, then back into Switzerland (Lugano, where they drive aggressively!) then back into Italy.  Finally we arrived at Lake Como to learn that we were on the wrong side of the lake!  Thank God for the car ferry across the lake!  Soon we were in this quaint little town of Varenna (and the gelato shops!)
