Photos BY ELAINE WATKINS, Lake Como Area



On our Lake Como Cruise, we saw a lot of fine landscape and some fine houses. This chateau was used in as part of the set in "Casino Royale", the last James Bond Movie.



Just up the lake from the "Bond" house is another Chateau, recently bought by Richard Branson, of Virgin Fame. I could live there!



A more traditional Chateau is on the other side of the lake. This one was where Tom Cruise had his last wedding, and it is rumored that he is trying to buy it! Napoleon actually slept in this one.



The lake-side town of Bellagio is just around the bend from the cruise house, and is where we stopped for lunch and shopping, just like the rich folks do!



Our group posing on the lake-side at Bellagio, about half-way through our cruise.
