Lugano, Switzerland


From Bellagio we could see the notch in the mountains that led from Menaggio to Lugano, Switzerland. So, on Wednesday we took the ferry from Bellagio to Menaggio, walked to the town square and bought tickets for the bus to Lugano. What a wild ride! The road twisted and turned up the mountainside through tiny towns and beautiful green forests. It took us about an hour to reach the city and the very narrow road that led into it. The bus had to go so slowly especially when it met a car, and often times the car had to back up to let us through. We could see the beautiful lake beside us as we rode, and it spread out before us as we disembarked the bus. We spent a few hours just wandering, shopping, and treating ourselves to lunch and gelato. We wandered back to the bus stop through a beautiful park and playground, got back on the bus and made the wild ride back to Bellagio. Whew. We made it.
