Wow what a happening Place.

Sunny, warm and yes Music playing. At first I thought it was always that way.

Music by the Lake. Then I clued in a big screen right by the Lake Ahhh I get it “FIFA Soccer Night”.

This city is a must see …..

I love the tropical feel one get when entering to the south of Switzerland.

Palm trees are a welcome sight. If you like watches and jewellery you better put your walled away. The Glitz, Glam and sparkles are amazing and so are the prices.

You have to see the butcher shops…wow! I even seen a show maker …He was very happy to have me take a picture too. My eyes opened up wide when I seen the spaghetti noodles at one meters long.

Walking by the waterfront, just perfect with all the hustle and bustle of the young and old walking or sitting by the waterfront.

I love all the small allies that lead from out Hotel to the Lake. So special to be able to show this to my son.

Lugano

Wow, was für ein “Happening Platz”.

Sonnig, warm und ja Musik. Zuerst dachte ich, es ist immer so. Musik beim See? Dann sahen wir die großen Leinwand direkt am See Ahhh natürlich “FIFA Soccer Night” ist ja am laufen.

Diese Stadt muss man besuchen wenn man in der Schweiz ist.

Ich liebe die tropische Atmosphäre in der Süde-Schweiz. Palmen sind ein willkommener Anblick.

Wenn Du nach einer Uhr oder Schmuck suchst, das musst Du den Geldpeutel hervor nehme! Glitz, Glam funkelt fast jeder Laden und so auch die Preise.

Yes this watch is a total of CHf 15100.00 I told you to leave the walled at home this is one of many... — Yes this watch is a total of CHf 15100.00 I told you to leave the walled at home this is one of many…

If you take the Tram you would never see this hill.. So cool lots of stairs of steep walk way ...you have to do it once! — If you take the Tram you would never see this hill.. So cool lots of stairs of steep walk way …you have to do it once!

Ja die Metzgereien, so viel Fleish das immer auch in den Fenstern hängt. Sogar ein Schuhmacher freute sich das ich ihn Fotographierte. Meine Augen öffnete breit, ein Meter lange Spaghetti Nudelns.

Am See spazieren zu gehen,einfach perfekt mit dem juble und trubel von Jung und Alt. Ich liebe all die kleinen “Gässlein”, die von unserem Hotel zum See führen. Und all das durfte ich meinem Sohn zeigen. Ihm hat es hier glauv=be ich am Besten Gefalle. So blieben wir noch etwas länger.

Valtellina Valley In Italy

Our Switzerland trip continues from Tirano,Italy to Lugano,Switzerland though the Valtellina Valley by bus.

A wine region of Italy, Valtellina has been a wine-producing area for more than 2000 years .The vineyards are all on the hillsides of this Valley.

Truly a fantastic bus trip. Especially when you see how narrow, curvy and winding the roads are once you get closer to Lugano. Yes those bus driver know how to get you from Tirano to Lugano nice and safe. You have to see the video I too.

But have a look…we had a quick stop at “Comune Di Sorico” have a look at where they where selling local cheese and dried meat. I am sad I did not bring any back to my brother. Sorry…Sooo cool I thought. I would have bought some but we still had a two days to travel and no way to keep it. Love the Bell tower in this village

Usere Schweizer Reise geht weiter von Tirano, Italien nach Lugano, Schweiz.

Durch das Valtellina-Tal mit dem Bus. Eine Weinregion von Italien, Valtellina ist schon für mehr als 2000 Jahren ein Wein Gebiet. Die Weinbergen sind alle auf den Hängen des Tals.

Wirklich eine fantastische Busfahrt. Vor allem, wenn man sieht, wie eng, kurvig und wendend die Straßen sind, wenn Du näher nach Lugano kommst. Ja, die Busfahrer wissen, wie Sie von Tirano nach Lugano ihre Gäste sicher ans Ziel bringen.

Hier sind 2 Videos http://youtu.be/p14Q9BWLSWY so wie http://youtu.be/QCFMKxaGQ3w

Aber schaut… wir hatten einen kurzen Aufenthalt in “Comune Di Sorico” hier kann man von einen kleinem Camper einheimischer Käse und getrocknete Würste kaufen. Ich bin traurig, ich hatte es verpasst meinem Bruder so etwas nach Hause zu bringen. Sorry…das nächste Mal dann.

This is the small camper Buss that sold the dried meet and local cheese

at 3;45pm in the village of Comune Di Sourcio

It truly is always nice to come back Home to Switzerland even if only for a short visit.

Better short then never I say.

A trip back home this time to honor the Life of my Grandmother that passed away at 100 Years. Some say I will be that old one day too…wow if that is the case I have half her age now

I know we always have to see so much and visit all my friends and family. The time really goes by way to quick. On our visit just last week, took us across the Rhein River, Bad-Säckingen Germany, Chur, Bernina Pass, Tirano (Italy), Lugano, Locarno, Visp, Bern, back home to Moehlin

Breathtaking I have to say….wait till you see the pictures we took….lol, Almost 1500…crazy you may say, but I just had too!

For this post I will show you some of the pictures I and my son have taken in my hometown.
