A good last full day in Switzerland

After a long day yesterday, and with a longer one in prospect tomorrow, we decided to have an easy day today.  So we had a leisurely morning, and were only out the door moments before midday.  We took a ride down to Lugano for a suitably unhealthy lunch at the Ristorante Mary.  Our view of the lake was obscured by outside broadcast trucks, but watching them set it all up was quite entertaining.  Having eaten pretty correctly yesterday, and finished off the salad this evening, we don’t feel too guilty about having dined on microwave chicken stroganoff from the Lugano City co-op.  And we didn’t buy any of the vast salamis hanging outside the charcuterie near the funicular!

We have had a lazy afternoon as well: Martyn had a siesta, and I got stuck in to Bill Graham’s latest Dundee whodunit, Love Hurts.  Good stuff, and it deserves to find a publisher soon. 

We have a pretty early start tomorrow, so have done all the packing we can.  Let’s hope the railway experience is as good as it has been yesterday and today.  I’m hoping the next bulletin will be from Forges-l’Evêque…
