Trip on the Como–Brunate Funicular

After I returned from Lugano I decided to walk to the funicular that connects Como to a small village called Brunate. It was a very warm afternoon but I wanted to go on Sunday even though there were lots of tourists because the forecast was for clouds and rain on Monday. The funicular has operated since 1894. The line is 3,556 ft long, of which the lower 427 ft are in a tunnel. The remainder of the line is at or above ground level, with extensive views over the lake and city.

Soon after I returned to my hotel there was a strong thunder and lightening storm. I was glad to be settled into my room for the night. - Nancy
