Beware of wild boars in the forests surrounding the lake
Expect motorcyclists to overtake in a seemingly suicidal manner
Be aware that water tests in 2007 showed the lake has 68 times the accepted level of colony forming bacteria (http://www.thespec.com/Ne...). This poses a risk of skin infection to bathers. It is thought to be the result of poor waste management and treatment in the surrounding area.
Make sure your car is in good condition, especially your tires, brakes, and handbrake, because of the steep and bendy nature of the roads
Locals love tailgating "slow" tourists. Allow them to overtake you, so you can follow them safely
Do not try to swim across the lake

Good internet connection is at the hotel barchelleta Excelsior.
In Como, there are two good wi-fi spots: the Como bar on Volta street and the sushi bar on Bergovico street well hidden, but worth it. The como bar is an eight minute walk Southeast from the water taxi and the sushi place is about a fifteen minute walk south from the water taxi.
