Today’s adventure was navigating the Swiss Rail system as we left Geneva for Lugano. I am happy to report that all went well!! The trains were on time we navigated the changing of trains and were able to manage the luggage! The only oops was we were in a quiet car and made the mistake of talking and a lady got up and told us to be quiet!!
The train ride was so much fun as we coasted through small towns and the beautiful countryside!
Our hotel is right on the coastline of Lake Lugano! Lugano is so incredibly beautiful with the houses cascading in the hills and the stunning lake is it is picture perfect!! We walked the promenade by the waters edge and took in all the beauty.
Lugano is a city in southern Switzerland’s Italian-speaking Ticino region. Its Swiss-Mediterranean mix of cultures is closely related to that of Italy’s northern Lombardy region. This mix is reflected in its architecture and cuisine. The city stands on the northern shore of glacial Lake Lugano, surrounded by mountains.
Looking forward to exploring the city center with a tour guide and hopefully getting out on the water tomorrow!!
You and Betty in a quiet car, big mistake, lol!
