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.
