More of Lugano

Today, we checked out of hostel, and to our dismay discovered that only 1 bus leaves from this place to Lugano every 2 hours. and we just missed ours. So, we made the long walk to Lugano. Halfway through it, I discovered I had left my passport behind, with the girl behind the counter. And instead of going back decided to collect it later. Went to mini switzerland, a place where they had built miniature versions of all the touristy places in Switzerland. Somewhat for the children, I must say. Roamed about a bit more of Lugano, savouring the lake front beauty. Took some cool photos too. Went back to get my passport and was back in time to catch our 7 pm train back home. After 2 changes of trains, going through the longest tunnel - Gotthard tunnel - in Switzerland, we were back at 1 am in Lausanne. The waether change was amazing. The moment we left sunny ticino, the weather became damp and rainy. No wonder, the Swiss just go in hordes to Ticino.
