Cal and Maria recommended I travel south via Ticino, Italian Switzerland
“It’s like Italy where everything actually works!”
Sounded good to me. I boarded a train to Lugano. The journey from Zurich is beautiful.
The city lies on Lake Lugano, surrounded by the mountains of the Lugano Prealps. …
Like many other mountain lake towns, it’s stunning. Especially at night.
The climate of Ticino, while remaining alpine, is noticeably milder than the rest of Switzerland’s, enjoying a higher number of sunshine hours and generally warmer temperatures. …
In Lugano they vacuum leaves. That ain’t happening in Italy.
Great post 😁
