In the afternoon of March 31, I drove with my son Matt back to Zurich, where he had an early Saturday morning flight back to Los Angeles. We stayed in the suburb of Oerlikon. On Saturday I had the day to myself in Zurich. I wasn't into taking too many pictures, although I love Zurich!

I returned on Sunday to Lugano. On the Swiss train site, SBB.CH, they will often have super saver fares on certain trains. I was lucky to get a fare of only $16.60 from Zurich to Lugano!
 |
| Back in Lugano, Monday morning. A gorgeous day and Rick and I go for a walk up the mountainside behind our house. Lugano below looks lovely! |
 |
| The forest in the spring is full of moss, and oh, so green! Rick takes a drink from one of the mountain fountains. |
 |
| There are always hiking signs showing the direction. Not only is the sign on the pole, but look closely at the in the center in the background. There is a red and white horizontal stripe painted on the tree. This also indicates the path. |
 |
| I love these fairy tale bridges over the mountain streams. From so much moisture lately, this one was VERY slippery! I had to take each step carefully and plant my hiking poles. It was like slippery ice. I've never experienced a bridge so slippery! |
 |
| I took a second outing in the afternoon. I took the bus up to Monte Bré, where there was a great view of Monte Rose in the background. Can you see those snowcapped mountains? This is the highest in Switzerland. It's really impressive! |
