This was the sight that greeted us when we woke and it's the only photograph I took all day!
But, rather than spend another day cooped up in the flat, we decided to drive back to Porlezza and go shopping, which only goes to show how desperate we were. The drive up the wiggly road out of Menaggio was challenging because of the streams of water pouring down but we made it successfully and spent an interesting hour wandering around Carrefour. We were able to buy some cute mini panettones, chocolates and sweets for Christmas presents and more importantly we got out (photographed purely to illustrate the blog).
