Switzerland Day One

Before leaving Italy, we had to return our now useless rental car. This put us in the unfortunate position of having to figure out a train route through northern italy to northwestern Switzerland to our destination for the night. So, we took the train to Milan and then to Lugano and then to Lucerne, our home for the next three days. We decided to set up a base camp of sorts for Switzerland and to travel around from there.

Our day of traveling by train was not bad like we expected. In fact, we were sort of glad that we didn’t have to drive and that we got to see all of the mountain scenery without the distraction of driving. The views from the train were beautiful.

There were waterfalls, lakes and streams and cows with bells. Actual bells.

We had a great day enjoying the scenery of riding through the Alps.

Before we left Italy, we went to this little bodega and bought 79 cent wine boxes. Like a juice box but for wine. Zak got red and I got white and we enjoyed them on our train ride.
