Day Trip to Lugano Switzerland

Off day today from Olympic action on Tuesday. So we walked from our villa perched over Lake Como. We are technically staying in a suburb to Como, called Cernobbio. Cha, not sir-nobbio. I had my first coffee of my life yesterday. It was a cappuccino...and I survived. Our walk along the lake took about an hour and fifteen. Then hopped on a 30 minute train to Lugano, Switzerland for the afternoon. Beautiful town along the lake, not as medieval or historical. Very clean though. Dinner back Cernobbio was recommended by a young woman traveler on the train back from Lugano and we had the best and largest (18 to 20 inches wide) pizza on the trip. Super thin, large and tasty at Frederico's, a half hour walk to the villa. We were the first to arrive and were told they were large...but had no idea. Wow! All told, our step count was 21,000 steps today. Absolutely gorgeous day, low 50s, bluebird day! Check out the pic w horse chunks on the menu at a fantastic lunch place of a Puglia, Italy region owner. Its not what u think, surprisingly. Ciao!Read more
