Day 9 Lugano, Switzerland

We took an early train to Lugano, Switzerland (the Italian Region)

We were originally going to take a train to see the Matterhorn or other mountain countryside, but the weather in these areas was stormy. Instead we opted for Lake Lugano, near the Italian border.  
Turned out to be a great alternative


 The snowy mountains we passed on the way.

 

soon gave way to sunshine!




 

 
 





 





We took a boat tour of Lake Lugano


while on the boat tour of Lake Lugano, we entered Italy for about 5 minutes,


while on the tour we made a stop at Gandria, a local village- another post..

Magnolia trees blooming everywhere
