This is the blog of Mark Wordsworm, the travelling worm. I’m a 36-year-old bookmark (give or take a few years) and I proudly boast my own Hallmark serial number, 95 HBM 80-1. You’ll probably want to read all about me and my Travelling Companion (the TC).
Today’s travel notes
Me and the TC made the three-and-a-half hour drive from Zurich in Switzerland to Como in Italy. The drive is lovely. The town of Como was a bit of a disappointment.
The book I’m in
Bleed for Me, by Michael Robotham. A good who-dunnit investigated by a flawed psychologist, a cop, and an ex-cop. This worm is eating through the book with great enjoyment.
Recommended restaurant
Ristorante in Teatro, Piazza Giuseppe Verdi, Como. Great service and tasty gluten free food for those who need it.
Travel tips
Parking in Como is a nightmare. If you can, take public transport and avoid the stress.
The photos
Alas, dear reader, there’s no picture of yours truly in these photographs. Another disappointment, I know. However, here are a few mountains help to sweeten the blow.
On the road from Zurich to Como, near Giornico:

The Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta towers over a town square:
Behind the cathedral is the Ristorante in Teatro, which offers good food with a view:
The Como waterfront, on the south end of Lake Como:

Driving back through Switzerland, this worm was struck again and again by the greenness of everything. The towns appear to be positioned on a covering of green felt:
On the banks of Lake Lucerne, a roof reaches out over the road to protect cars from avalanches and rock falls:
That’s all for today, folks.
