Bonjourno di Lugano

Yesterday we said good bye to the German Swiss and Hello to the Italian Swiss. After sleeping in later than we had planned (refusing to set an alarm while on vacation) we spent the morning scrambling to pack up our bikes and deliver them to the Zurich airport for safe keeping while we travel around Switzerland. We were in such a hurry, we didn't eat breakfast, and only managed a few snacks at the train station for lunch.

This continues a trend that Theresa and I started in Australia - gorge yourself at one meal and then skip another so that you are starving, so that by the next meal you gorge yourself again. We really think its the secret to the Ironman race week taper! Anyway, we managed to catch our train to Lugano, and spent the evening walking around the town, having dinner (which turned out to be a less than stellar recommendation from a girl working in the tourist office) and then sat on a lake deck drinking wine.
