Travel from #Lugano to #Lucerne. (check alt-text for details)

Ambri Airport in Ticino valley, seen from a passing train. As the airport is taking up a significant part of the valley and doesn't see that much traffic, there's a road cutting across it. A tractor transporting a bale of hay can be seen crossing the airport's runway.Löwendenkmal in the English Garden in Lucerne. A sculpture of a wounded lion, about three times the real life size, carved in a cliff, over a serene water pool. It gives a sense of immense mourning and is absolutely massive.

It is also a rather controversial monument, and has been, since it's creation a good 30 years after the French revolution, and was driven by Swiss conservatives and funded by European royal families. It commemorates the Swiss guard regiment who got killed covering the retreat of the French royal family. As Swiss public was generally in favour of of the French revolutionary movement, this was an attempt to sway its opinions.Obligatory for every Warhammer fan: photo of the station name plate Altdorf.Spreuerbrücke in Lucerne. Not as old as Kapellbrücke, not as big, but to me, much more impressive, as it hasn't been completely rebuilt like its bigger sibling. Wooden truss bridge, with roof, with 17th century triangular paintings underneath the roof.

Overall, the bridges exemplify what I found unsettling about most historical buildings in Switzerland: they are refreshed/rebuilt/redone using very modern techniques, giving them that universal brand-new laser-sharp look. This bridge managed to avoid that (but the nearby bigger Kapellbrücke didn't, as it was rebuilt after almost completely burning down in 1993).

#Funicular from the #Lugano station to the lake level.

Sixth day of the train journey around #Switzerland last year. From snow and glaciers on the day before, to the almost tropical climate of #Lugano. The lake is incredibly gorgeous, multiple settlements around its edge used to be accessible only by boat, until recently. Some of them still can't be reached by car, only on foot and by bike - we saw some deliveries done that way. And it really, really screams "old money".

In Lugano we cheaped out - scared off by the local coffee shop prices for breakfast, we settled for a McDonald on the lake's shore. Definitely the most expensive and the nicest McDonalds I've ever seen - including table service even.

Author's face, a bit red from the sun, in wide sunglasses. In the back there's a wide body of water, filling a glacial valley, with almost tropical greenery on the sides. The air is somewhat hazy.Must be the nicest McDonald I've ever seen. No gaudy colours (logo rendered in white only), dainty metal tables and bent-iron chairs. People sitting under an extended decorated roof, by the lake side.Another view over the lush almost tropical plants by the side of the lake. The lake view extends to the other side of the post-glacial deep valley. The air is slightly hazy.An Italian style villa by the side of the lake Lugano. It is only accessible by boat, or on foot or by bike.

#Interrail day 4/7: unfortunately I have to leave #Rimini, but thanks to #Nödbroms I could sleep longer as the #train station is only 7 minutes away by #bike 😃
I took the slower #frecciarossa to #Milano (3h), as everyone takes the fast one leaving some minutes earlier. In #Chiasso the #ECE150 was 30 minutes delayed and pretty cramped, but I managed to get the perfect place for my #brompton though they didn’t show which place is reserved before departure.
First class then got cramped in #Lugano

Stazione Rimini, hope to see you soon againThanks god I had a reservation, I even sat in the wrong coach (conductor: „stay seated“) 😂Finally the ECE arrives in Chiasso (due to problems in Italy ☝️)If you’re alone with your Brompton, this is the seat you want 😃

Restoration work is underway at the 1904 Cantonal School in , Switzerland.
Typically, waste is disposed of by being thrown down plastic tubes. However, in this case, the skip container was lifted up to the window using a crane. The only reason I can think of for this approach is some noise regulation, possibly due to the proximity of a park and lake.

Habe alle Züge auf der Rückfahrt von der #TARNo2 bekommen. Wird sich auf die DB Seite verlassen, dauert die Reise relativ lang. Ich hätte 4 Stunden Aufenthalt in der Nacht in #Lugano gehabt. Habe die einzelnen Verbindungen selbst raus gesucht und habe dadurch den langen Aufenthalt am Bahnhof #Basel SBB. Von dort kann ich die 70 Kilometer mit dem Rad fahren. Von #Shkodër bis #Freiburg waren es dann insgesamt 200 Kilometer mit dem Rad.
