We wanted to end our cycle trip by spending a relaxing week in Cannobio on Lake Maggiore. This was a two day ride from Como via Lake Lugano. After a long hot ride we arrived at a camp site on the western side of Lake Lugano with just enough time to put the tent up before it got dark. We ate breakfast by the side of the lake but had to move twice because of two very aggressive swans that wanted to share our breakfast.

We stayed in Cannobio a few years ago and thought that it would be a good place to use as a base for our last week. After a bit of searching around the town we found a self contained flat that was reasonabled priced to rent for a week. Cannobio is a small quaint old town on the side of the lake with mountains all around. These we used for day trips by either cycling or walking.

After our week in Cannobio we cycled 20km to Verbania where we packed the bikes in bubble plastic and caught the airport coach to Milan Malpensa airport. Our cycle trip had come to end after 1200km and amazingly no puntures!
