Day 7 – November 18, 2007 – Lake Lugano, Switzerland
Drive to Lake Lugano
On the way, looks like Under the Tuscan Sun scenery
Village with open air market once a month
Crossed Swiss border – no one guarding, just paused and went on
Passed Swiss chocolate factory
Lake very clear like Lake Tahoe
Casino – only open for 5 hours per day
Official languages – Italian and German
Accept Euros and Swiss Francs – I Euro = 1.6 Swiss Francs
Lunch at McDonalds
· Ciabatta burgers
· Salads
· Fountain Coke Zero
· Had to have code from receipt to use restroom
We weren’t stopped at Italian border on the way back into Italy
Italian and Swiss borders are very far apart – who owns what is in between?
Back to Hotel – walked around Baveno
Nap
Get take-out pizza for dinner
Siciliani – Cheese, tomato, olive
